Question

There are 110 participants in an event. If the number of female is 7/15 times the number of male, then the number of male is: 
1. 75
2. 40
3. 80
4. 35

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : 75

Given:

The total number of participants = 110

The number of females who participated = 7/15 times of the number of males

Calculations:

Let the number of males be 'x'

The total number of female = (7/15) × x

The total number of participants  = x + 7x/15

⇒ 22x/15 = 110

⇒ 22x/15 = 110

⇒ x = 110 × 15/22

⇒ x = 75

∴ The total number of male participated in event is 75
