Given:

The total number of lecturers is 500

Percentage of physics lecture is 22%

The ratio of the lecture delivered by male and female lecturers in physics is 2 ∶ 3

Concept Used:

Concept of ratio and percentage

x% means x out of 100

Calculation:

The total number of lecturers is 500

Percentage of physics lecture is 22%

⇒ Total number of physics lecture is (22/100) × 500

⇒ 110

The ratio of the lecture delivered by male and female lecturers in physics is 2 ∶ 3

Number of lectures delivered by male in physics is (2/5) × 110

⇒ 44

∴ 44 physics lectures were delivered by male lecturers.
