Solution

Number Of Women = 3/5×120 = 72

Number Of Men = 120-72 = 48

Number Of Married People = 2/3×120 = 80

Number Of Unmarried People = 40

If All Men Are Considered Married

Then Number Of Married Women = 80-48 = 32

Number Of Unmarried Women = 72-32 = 40

So Maximum Number Of Unmarried Women = 40
