下面的折线图绘制了五年来一所大学的男女生比例。如果 2009 年女学生人数翻了一番,那么 2009 年男学生人数增加了百分之多少?
(一) 120
(乙) 140
(三) 160
(四) 180答案:(乙)
解释:
Let x represent the males and y represent the females.
In 2008.
x / y = 2.5 -----------(1)
In 2009.
M / 2y = 3-------------(2)
where M is the total number of males in 2009.
Now x = 2.5y (from (1))
and M = 6y ( from (2))
hence increased number of males in 2009 are
M - x = 6y - 2.5y = 3.5y
Now the increase in % of males =
(change in no of males / initial number)*100
= (3.5y / x )*100 = (3.5 / 2.5)*100 = 140
(given x/y = 2.5)
Hence, B is the right option.
