Out of 120 applications for a post, 70 are males and 80 have a driver license. What is the ratio of between the minimum to maximum number of males having driver's license.

A) 1 : 2
B) 2 : 3
C) 3 : 7
D) 5 : 7

Correct Answer:



C) 3 : 7

Description for Correct answer:
Since, there are 70 males out of 120 applicants, there must be 50 females. For the minimum number of males to have a driver's license all 50 females must have a driver's license. Thus, the number of males having a driver's license, will be 80 - 50 = 30. The maximum number of males having driver's license is 70. The ratio between the minimum and the maximum is 30 : 70 or 3 : 7.
