Question
From a sample of 200 software engineers, determine the ratio of those proficient in Python to those proficient in Java using the given information:
| Category | Number | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| --- | --- | ||
| Proficient in Python and Java | 50 | ||
| Proficient in Python only | 70 | ||
| Proficient in Java only | 60 | ||
| Proficient in neither language | 20 |
- A. 11:12
- B. 12:11 (Correct answer)
- C. 7:6
- D. 6:7
Correct Answer
Option B — 12:11
Detailed Solution & Explanation
The correct answer is 12:11.
Key Points
- Count each skill set including the overlap. Python-proficient = Python-only + both = 70 + 50 = 120. Java-proficient = Java-only + both = 60 + 50 = 110.
- The ratio Python : Java = 120 : 110 = 12 : 11.
- In set/Venn problems the 'proficient in X' total always adds the 'both' group to the 'only X' group; forgetting the overlap gives the reversed or wrong ratio.
