Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of people = 60
Ratio of men to women = 1:2
Total ratio of men to women or Total parts = 1 + 2 = 3 parts
Number of men = 1/3 × 60
Number of men = 20 men
Given number of men who passed = 17 men
Therefore number of men who failed = 20 - 17
number of men who failed = 3 men
Number of women = 2/3 × 60
Number of women = 40 women
Number of people who failed = 1/5 × 60
Number of people who failed = 12 people
And number of women who failed = 12 - 3
number of women who failed = 9 women
Number of women who passed = 40 - 9
Number of women who passed = 31 women
