(c) 3 : 2
(d) 2 : 3

Solutions :

 24___28 : First complete the table with the help of the facts provided as shown below:
No. of females = 32
solution
But  40% of the students were females.
∴ Total no. of students = (100/40 x 32) = 80
No. of male students = ( 80-32) = 48
∴ No. of male students who were average
=(1/3 x 48)= 16

1. No. of students who are both female and excellent = none.

2. Proportion of female students who are male


3. Proportion of female students who are good


4. No.of students who are both male and good = 22.

5. Among average students, the ratio of male of female = 16: 24 = 2:3.
