Explanation by: Admin

Ratio of students in 2012 in institutes A and B = 7 : 15
Let number of students in institute A in 2012 = 700
And Number of students in institutes B in 2012 = 1500
25% increase in the number of students in 2013
Now, number of students in Institute A = 700 + 25% of 700 = 875
Number of students in B in 2013 as 26% students increased in B
= 1500 + 26% of 1500 = 1890
Current Ratio of the students,
875/1890 = 25 : 54
