Solution

Let's analyze the given information step by step:

  1. 75% of all final year students graduated.
  2. 60% of the female students graduated.

We need to determine which of the following statements must be true:

  1. The percentage of male students among the graduates is less than the percentage of male students among the non-graduates.
  2. The percentage of graduates among the female students is less than the percentage of graduates among the male students.
  3. The percentage of male students is greater than the percentage of male students among the non-graduates.
  4. The percentage of female students among the non-graduates is greater than the percentage of female students among the graduates.

Let's denote:

  • F F as the total number of female students.
  • M M as the total number of male students.
  • T=F+M T = F + M as the total number of final year students.

From the given information:

  • 75% of T T graduated, so 0.75T 0.75T students graduated.
  • 60% of F F graduated, so 0.60F 0.60F female students graduated.

The number of male graduates can be calculated as: Male graduates=0.75T0.60F \text{Male graduates} = 0.75T - 0.60F

The number of non-graduates is: Non-graduates=T0.75T=0.25T \text{Non-graduates} = T - 0.75T = 0.25T

The number of female non-graduates is: Female non-graduates=F0.60F=0.40F \text{Female non-graduates} = F - 0.60F = 0.40F

The number of male non-graduates is: Male non-graduates=0.25T0.40F \text{Male non-graduates} = 0.25T - 0.40F

Now, let's evaluate each statement:

  1. The percentage of male students among the graduates is less than the percentage of male students among the non-graduates.

    • Percentage of male students among graduates: 0.75T0.60F0.75T\frac{0.75T - 0.60F}{0.75T}
    • Percentage of male students among non-graduates: 0.25T0.40F0.25T\frac{0.25T - 0.40F}{0.25T}
    • Since 0.75T0.60F0.75T<0.25T0.40F0.25T \frac{0.75T - 0.60F}{0.75T} < \frac{0.25T - 0.40F}{0.25T} , this statement is true.
  2. The percentage of graduates among the female students is less than the percentage of graduates among the male students.

    • Percentage of graduates among female students: 0.600.60
    • Percentage of graduates among male students: 0.75T0.60FM\frac{0.75T - 0.60F}{M}
    • Since 0.60<0.75T0.60FM0.60 < \frac{0.75T - 0.60F}{M}, this statement is true.
  3. The percentage of male students is greater than the percentage of male students among the non-graduates.

    • Percentage of male students: MT\frac{M}{T}
    • Percentage of male students among non-graduates: 0.25T0.40F0.25T\frac{0.25T - 0.40F}{0.25T}
    • Since MT>0.25T0.40F0.25T\frac{M}{T} > \frac{0.25T - 0.40F}{0.25T}, this statement is true.
  4. The percentage of female students among the non-graduates is greater than the percentage of female students among the graduates.

    • Percentage of female students among non-graduates: 0.40F0.25T\frac{0.40F}{0.25T}
    • Percentage of female students among graduates: 0.60F0.75T\frac{0.60F}{0.75T}
    • Since 0.40F0.25T>0.60F0.75T\frac{0.40F}{0.25T} > \frac{0.60F}{0.75T}, this statement is true.

Therefore, all the given statements are true.
