What is the population of district X? I. The number of males in district X is M and the number of females in district X is F. 32 times of F is equal to 33 times of M. The difference between female and male in district X is 50,000. II. The population of district X is 65/87 of that of district Y. The total population in district X and district Y together is 7,600,000.
What is the population of district X? I. The number of males in district X is M and the number of females in district X is F. 32 times of F is equal to 33 times of M. The difference between female and male in district X is 50,000. II. The population of district X is 65/87 of that of district Y. The total population in district X and district Y together is 7,600,000. Correct Answer The data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.
Calculation:
From statement I:
Given, 32F = 33M
⇒ F/M = 33/32
⇒ F : M = 33 : 32
Also, F – M = 50,000
∴ (33 – 32) units = 50000
⇒ 1 unit = 50000
∴ (33 + 32) units = 65 × 50000
⇒ 65 units = 65 × 5000 = 32,50,000
∴ Total population of district X = 32,50,000
For statement II:
III. The population of district X is 65/87 of that of district Y. The total population in district X and district Y together is 76,00000.
Given, X = 65/87 of Y
⇒ X/Y = 65/87
⇒ X : Y = 65 : 87
Also given, (X + Y) = 76,00000
⇒ (65 + 87) units = 76,00000
⇒ 152 units = 76,00000
⇒ 1 unit = 50,000
⇒ 65 units = 32,50,000
∴ Total population of district X = 32,50,000
∴ The data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.
