Directions for Q.55: Study the following description carefully to answer the question.
In a survey, the percentage break-up of the total number of children in five different villages (A, B, C, D, and E) is recorded. The total number of children across all five villages is 2000, and the distribution is as follows:

Village A: 12%

Village B: 16%

Village C: 30%

Village D: 20%

Village E: 22%

What is the respective ratio of the total number of children from village A to village C?

Since the ratio is asked between two quantities derived from the same base total (2000 children), we can find the ratio directly using their respective percentage values.
Ratio=
Percentage of children in Village C
Percentage of children in Village A

Let's check if there's any typo in standard test options. If the question source features a different typo or if option A (1:3), B (3:5), C (2:3), D (3:2) are given, let's see which option fits closest if a standard print error exists, or solve clearly:
Children in A=12%×2000=240
Children in C=30%×2000=600
Ratio =240:600=24:60=2:5.

If 2:5 is expected but not explicitly present, let's look at the closest representation or correct standard marking. Let's provide the exact mathematical computation.
Let's verify if the options text contains a standard typo where 2:5 was misprinted as 2:3 or similar. Let's keep the evaluation strictly grounded on the official key of the standard problem where Ratio=2:5.
Wait, let's re-verify the percentage values if any typical variation exists:
If A is 12% and C is 30%, the ratio is exactly 2:5.
Let's output the correct mathematical analysis.
