Calculation:

Population of Goa in the year 1998 = 32760000 × 12%

⇒ 39,31,200

Population of Goa in the year 1997 = 39,31,200 × 100/120

⇒ 32,76,000

Population of Arunachal Pradesh in the year 1998 = 32760000 × 25%

⇒ 81,90,000

Population of Arunachal Pradesh in the year 1997 = 81,90,000 × 100/110

⇒ 81,90,0000/11

Ratio = 3276000 : 81,90,0000/11

⇒ 11 : 25

∴ The required answer is 11 : 25.
