The total number of students is 4,800.
The required ratio of female students in Institute S to male students in Institute R is:
\[ \frac{\text{Female students in S}}{\text{Male students in R}} = \frac{350}{260} \]
Simplifying: \[ \frac{350}{260} = \frac{35}{26} = \mathbf{3:2} \]
Thus, the correct answer is (D) 3 : 2.
The total number of students is 4,800. Using the percentage distribution:
Using the given male-to-female ratios:
\[ 378 + 427 + 240 + 210 + 396 + 397 + 390 = 2438 \]
Thus, the correct answer is (A) 2438.
