At a certain organisation, the number of male members went up by 15% in the year 2001 from year 2000, and the number of females members went down by 6% in the same time period. If the total membership at the organisation went up by 1.2% from the year 2000 to 2001, what was the ratio of male members to female members in the year 2000?
Pick:
A) 1:2	B) 1:3	C) 2:3	D) 3:2	E) 2:1
men increase by 15% ==&gt; 1.15M = males in 2001   women decrease by 6% ==&gt; 0.94F = women in 2001   total employees increase by 1.2% ==&gt; 1.012*(M + F) = total number of employees in 2001   Obviously   (males in 2001) + (females in 2001) = total number of employees in 2001   1.15M + 0.94F = 1.012*(M + F)   1.15M + 0.94F = 1.012M + 1.012F   1.15M - 1.012M = 1.012F - 0.94F   0.138M = 0.072F   M/F = (0.072)/(0.138) = 72/138 = 1/2   1:2nswer =(1:2)
