Of the $126$ students who applied for a full scholarship at Oxbow College, $9$ received one. What is the ratio of students who received a scholarship to those who didnt?

• A. $1$ to $10$
• B. $1$ to $11$
• C. $1$ to $12$
• D. $1$ to $13$
• E. $1$ to $14$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $1$ to $13$

Given,
No of students who applied for scholarship $=126$
No of students who got scholarship $=9$
No of students who didn't get scholarship $=126-9=117$
Ratio of students who received a scholarship to those who didn't is $9:117=1:13$.
