If the ratio of the number of teachers to the number of students is the same in School District M and School District P, what is the ratio of the number of students in School District M to the number of students in School District P?

(1) There are 10,000 more students in School District M than there are in School District P.

(2) The ratio of the number of teachers to the number of students in School District M is 1 to 20.

For the 2nd statement,  tm/sm = 1/20.    So from the question stem i get tm/sm=tp/sp         I just rearranged the algebra to get sm/sp .

Later i realised that this is a ratio and by giving different values for tp/sp = 2/40, 3/60   sm/sp will be different.   I would like to understand this concept more and also with both statements together, i would like to understand how did it come to E.
