Number of Hindu students =288

Number of Sikh students =144
Number of Christian students =72
Total number of students = 288+252+144+72=756

\frac{\text { Number of Hindu students }}{\text { Number of Christian students }}=\frac{288}{72}=\frac{4}{1}=4: 1
(b) Ratio of the number of Muslim students to the total number of students

\frac{\text { Number of Muslim students }}{\text { Total number of students }}=\frac{252}{756}=\frac{1}{3}=1: 3
