A survey is conducted among people about the type of 'music' genres (Folk, Rock, and Jazz) they prefer to listen. Each of the person prefer to listen at least one or more genres.The number of people who prefer to listen only 'Folk', only 'Rock and only 'Jazz' are in the ratio of 56 : 79 : 41. The number of people who prefer to listen both 'Folk' and 'Jazz' but not 'Rock' is 25% less the number of people who prefer to listen all three 'music' genres. The number of people who prefer to listen both 'Rock' and 'Jazz' but not 'Folk' and both 'Folk' and 'Rock' but not 'Jazz' are 50 and 35 respectively. The number of people who prefer to listen only 'Jazz' are five less than six times of the people who prefer to listen both 'Folk' and 'Rock' but not 'Jazz'. The total number of people who prefer to listen exactly two type of 'music' genres is equal to 130.
What is the ratio between the number of people who prefer to listen 'Folk' and to 'Jazz'?
3 : 2
5 : 4
7 : 6
9 : 8
11 : 10
Let’s break down what’s happening step by step so it makes sense:
- Call people who like only Folk = F, only Rock = R, only Jazz = J.
The ratio F:R:J is 56:79:41
Let’s use x as the common factor.
So, F = 56x, R = 79x, J = 41x.
- People who like both Rock & Jazz but NOT Folk = 50
People who like both Folk & Rock but NOT Jazz = 35
People who like both Folk & Jazz but NOT Rock = Let’s say A.
People who like all three = B.
- Given: “The number of people who prefer to listen both ‘Folk’ and ‘Jazz’ but not ‘Rock’ is 25% less than the number who prefer to listen all three.”
So, A = B – (25% of B) = 0.75B
- We also know:
J = five less than six times of (Folk & Rock but not Jazz)
So, J = 6×35 – 5 = 210 – 5 = 205
- The number of people with exactly two genres:
Exactly two-genres = (People who like both, but not all three)
So, sum of: 35 (Folk & Rock, not Jazz) + 50 (Rock & Jazz, not Folk) + A (Folk & Jazz, not Rock) = 130
35 + 50 + A = 130 ? A = 45
- From before: A = 0.75B
So, 45 = 0.75B ? B = 60
- Earlier, J = 41x = 205 ? x = 5
So:
Only Folk = 56×5 = 280
Only Rock = 79×5 = 395
Only Jazz = 41×5 = 205
Now, to get “people who prefer to listen Folk” — that’s:
Only Folk + (Folk & Rock, not Jazz) + (Folk & Jazz, not Rock) + (All three)
= 280 + 35 + 45 + 60 = 420
Same way, “people who prefer to listen Jazz”:
Only Jazz + (Folk & Jazz, not Rock) + (Rock & Jazz, not Folk) + (All three)
= 205 + 45 + 50 + 60 = 360
Now, ratio “Folk” to “Jazz”:
420 : 360 = 7 : 6
So, option 3 — 7 : 6 — is the answer.
Option 3 (7:6) is correct.
