■□Solution□■

No. of males = 60,000

No. of females

= Total population - No. of males

= 1,20,000

Ratio ,

= $\displaystyle\frac {No.\:of \: females}{Total\:population}$

= $\displaystyle\frac{1,20,000}{1,80,000}$

= $\displaystyle\frac {2}{3}$

=$\displaystyle{\blue{\tt{2:3}}}$

${\blue {\tt {Thus, \:the \:ratio \: of \:women\: in \:the \:population \:= \:2:3}}}$
