Question

35 % population of a town are men and 40 % are women. If the number of children are 20,000, then the number of women will be

• A. 3200
• B. 30,050
• C. 32,000
• D. 31,500

Answer 1

The correct option is C 32,000

Let total population be x.
$\because$ 35 % are men and 40 % are women, 25 % are children.
$\frac{25}{100}\times x=20,000$
x = 80,000
Number of women $=\frac{40}{100}\times 80,000$
= 32,000
