Correct Answer 25
Given :
Total number of lecturers are 500
Calculations :
Lecturers in Chemistry = 20% of 500
⇒ 100
Female lecturers in Chemistry = (1/5) of 100 (Ratio of male to female is 4 : 1)
⇒ 20
Lecturers in mathematics = 30% of 500
⇒ 150
Female lecturers in mathematics = (3/10) of 150 (Ratio of male to female is 7 : 3)
⇒ 45
Difference of female lecturers of Chemistry and Mathematics = 45 - 20
⇒ 25
∴ The correct answer will be option 4.
