The Ans. is D

(1) It means there are 3 women for every man. Therefore ratio of M:W is 1:3. Sufficient
(2) Say there are 100 people, ie 3/4th of 100 is 75, so there are 75 Women and 25 men. Therefore M:W is 75:25 which is 3:1. Sufficient.

we are asked to find out the ration of no. of men to no. women

statement 1: let's assume men = x
women= 3x

Ratio: x: 3x
=1:3

statement 2: let's say total no. will be x.
no. of women is 3x/4
then no. of men is = x-(3x/4)
=x/4
Ratio: x/4 : 3x/4
=1: 3

Thus both statements are sufficient. The correct answer is D.

If m is the number of men and w is the number of women at the ceremony, we have to find m:w

From statement I alone, there are 3 times as many women as men at the ceremony.

Therefore, w = 3m. This means \(\frac{w}{m}\) = 3 or m:w = 1:3.
Statement I alone is sufficient. Answer option B, C and E can be eliminated.

From statement II alone, number of women is ¾ the total of men and women at the ceremony.

Therefore, w = ¾ (m+ w). Simplifying,

\(\frac{w }{ (m+w)}\) = \(\frac{3 }{ 4}\) which then simplifies to 4w = 3m + 3w giving us w = 3m.

This is the same information that was given in statement I.
Statement II alone is sufficient. Answer option A can be eliminated.

The correct answer option is D.

Hope that helps!
