10. In a party, 60% of the invited guests are male and 40% are female. If 80% of the invited 
guests attended the party and if all the invited female guests attended, what would be the 
ratio of males to females among the attendees in the party? 
 A. 2 : 3    B. 1 : 1 
 C. 3 : 2    D. 2 : 1 
Ans. B 
Solutions:  Let total number of people are 100. 
 
 So, M must be 80 – 40 = 40 
 Ratio of male of female 
 40 : 40
