Solution
Number of Hindu students = 288
Number of Muslim students = 252
Number of Sikh students = 144
Number of Christian students = 72
∴ Total number of students in the school = 288 + 252 + 144 + 72 = 756
The required ratio = `"Number of Muslim students"/"Total number of students"`
= `252/756`
= `1/3`
= 1 : 3
