Question

If 25% of the students in university 2 in the year 2010 were females, what was the number of male students in university 2 in the same year?

• A. 11250
• B. 12350
• C. 12500
• D. 11500
• E. 11750

Answer 1

The correct option is A 11250

Total number of students in university 2 in the year 2010
=15 thousand =15000
Number of female students
$=15000\times \frac{25}{100}=15000\times \frac{1}{4}=3750$
Then, number of male students
=15000-3750=11250
Alternate Method
$\therefore$ Required males =$15000\times \frac{75}{100}=11250$
