Study the following information carefull...

Study the following information carefully and answer the given questions.
Following data refers to total 2000 people who visited a mall on Saturday for the following activities: Movies, Dine- out and Shopping. A person may engage in one or more than one activity. `60%` of the total number of people dined out and `54%` of the total number of people went for Shopping (out of which 500 went for only Shopping).-The number of people who went for only Movies was half of that who went for both Movies and Dine-out -(but not shopping), and those who went for all activities are equal to those who went for both Shopping and Dine-out (but not Movies). 100 people went for both Shopping and Movies} (but not Dine-out).
What is the ratio of the number of people who went for both Movies and Shopping (but not Dine-out) to that who went for both Movies and Dine-out (but not Shopping)?

A

`1:4`

B

`1:5`

C

`2:3`

D

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the given information and use it to find the required ratio. ### Step 1: Calculate the total number of people who dined out and went shopping. - Total number of people = 2000 - Percentage who dined out = 60% - Percentage who went shopping = 54% Calculating the actual numbers: - Number of people who dined out = 60% of 2000 = \( \frac{60}{100} \times 2000 = 1200 \) - Number of people who went shopping = 54% of 2000 = \( \frac{54}{100} \times 2000 = 1080 \) ### Step 2: Identify the number of people who went for only shopping. - It is given that 500 people went for only shopping. ### Step 3: Set up variables for the unknowns. - Let \( x \) be the number of people who went for both Movies and Dine-out (but not Shopping). - Let \( y \) be the number of people who went for both Shopping and Dine-out (but not Movies). - The number of people who went for all three activities is equal to \( y \). ### Step 4: Use the given information to set up equations. 1. The number of people who went for only Movies = \( \frac{x}{2} \) (half of those who went for both Movies and Dine-out). 2. The number of people who went for both Shopping and Movies (but not Dine-out) = 100. ### Step 5: Calculate the total number of people in the Shopping circle. - Total in Shopping circle = Only Shopping + Both Shopping and Dine-out + Both Shopping and Movies (not Dine-out) + All three activities - This can be expressed as: \[ 500 + y + 100 + y = 1080 \] Simplifying gives: \[ 500 + 2y + 100 = 1080 \implies 2y = 480 \implies y = 240 \] ### Step 6: Calculate the total number of people in the Dine-out circle. - Total in Dine-out circle = Only Dine-out + Both Dine-out and Movies (not Shopping) + Both Dine-out and Shopping (not Movies) + All three activities - This can be expressed as: \[ 1200 = \frac{x}{2} + x + 240 + 240 \] Simplifying gives: \[ 1200 = \frac{x}{2} + x + 480 \implies 1200 - 480 = \frac{3x}{2} \implies 720 = \frac{3x}{2} \implies x = 480 \] ### Step 7: Find the required ratio. - We need the ratio of the number of people who went for both Movies and Shopping (but not Dine-out) to those who went for both Movies and Dine-out (but not Shopping). - Number of people who went for both Movies and Shopping (but not Dine-out) = 100. - Number of people who went for both Movies and Dine-out (but not Shopping) = \( x = 480 \). Thus, the ratio is: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{100}{480} = \frac{5}{24} \] ### Final Answer: The ratio of the number of people who went for both Movies and Shopping (but not Dine-out) to those who went for both Movies and Dine-out (but not Shopping) is \( \frac{5}{24} \). ---
