At a certain organisation, the number of male members went up by 12% in the year 2001 from year 2000, and the number of females members went down by 5% 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?	Choose the correct choice from the following answers:
A) 1:2
B) 1:3
C) 2:3
D) 3:2
E) 4:7
men increase by 12% ==&gt; 1.12M = males in 2001   women decrease by 5% ==&gt; 0.95F = 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   1.12M + 0.95F = 1.012*(M + F)   1.12M + 0.95F = 1.012M + 1.012F   1.12M - 1.012M = 1.012F - 0.95F   0.108M = 0.062F   M/F = (0.062)/(0.108) = 62/108 = 4/7   Answer =(4:7)
