It does not matter how many times you get knocked down , but how many times you get up

let g be the group ; male=.6g and female=.4g
let m be the migrating no.; mig male=.2m and mig fem=.8m
as per Q x= .6g/.2m=3g/m
y=.4g/.8m= 2 g/m
x/y=6
let g be the group ; male=.6g and female=.4g
let m be the migrating no.; mig male=.2m and mig fem=.8m
as per Q x= .6g/.2m=3g/m
y=.4g/.8m= 2 g/m
x/y=6
