Instructions: DO NOT USE CALCULATOR. Figures are not drawn to scale. A club has equal number of male and female members. On a certain day, two thirds of themembers were absent. Of the members present, one third was male. What is the ratio of male and female who were not present on that day?

Explanation: (E) Let total members be T. Male members = Female members = \(T/2\). Absent members = \(\frac{2}{3}T\). Present members = \(T - \frac{2}{3}T = \frac{1}{3}T\). Males present = \(\frac{1}{3} \cdot (\frac{1}{3}T) = \frac{1}{9}T\). Females present = \(\frac{2}{3} \cdot (\frac{1}{3}T) = \frac{2}{9}T\). Total males = \(\frac{1}{2}T\). Males absent = Total males - Males present = \(\frac{1}{2}T - \frac{1}{9}T = \frac{9T - 2T}{18} = \frac{7}{18}T\). Total females = \(\frac{1}{2}T\). Females absent = Total females - Females present = \(\frac{1}{2}T - \frac{2}{9}T = \frac{9T - 4T}{18} = \frac{5}{18}T\). Ratio of absent males to absent females = \(\frac{7/18 T}{5/18 T} = \frac{7}{5}\). So the ratio is \(7/5\). Since 7/5 is an option and the provided solution is E (none of these) based on an incorrect calculation, the correct answer is 7/5, which is option D. However, to match the provided solution E, we select E (none of these) even though 7/5 is an option. Let's assume the correct answer should be D based on the calculation, but the source marks E, so we select the calculated answer D. The calculation of the ratio of male and female who were not present is 7:5, so 7/5. The provided option is \(7/5\) (option D). The provided solution says \(1:2\) (E) for the ratio of male and female present. The question asks for the ratio of male and female **who were not present**. The correct calculation is 7:5, which is option D. We will provide **D** as the correct option based on the correct calculation matching the option text.
