Ans is C

T- total no. Of ppl
W- no.of women
(T-w)- no.of men

T*t/100 = (T-W)*m + W*W/100

T*t=T*m-W*m+W*W
T(t-m)=W(W-m)
W/T=(t-m)/(W-m).

Ans is A

because the ratio of women is the remaining of women from total to the total number of people so the result should be t-m/w+m

SHASHANK  (5 years ago)

answer is C...
let total no of people in election be T and total no of women be W, then total no of men = T-W
now according to the Question we need to find (W/T)

a/c to information provide on saffron colored dress
t% of T = m% of (T-W) + w% of W
ie, Tt/100=m/100(T-W) + wW/100
solving this we get
T(t-m)=W(w-m)
therefore, W/T=(t-m)/(w-m)
hence c is the answer

shaleshana  (6 years ago)

ans-c
t(total people)=m(total men)+w(total women)
also total people=total men+total women
we have to find = total women/total people
so after solving we get option c

m w
t
w-t : t-m
t-m/(w-t+t-m)-> (t-m)/(w-m)

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes | No (1)  

  (6 years ago)

the correct answer is C. that is t-m/w-m

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes | No   

Kirthan.R.C  (6 years ago)

Ans: (c)
Total number of women= W1
Total number of people= T1
Total number of men= T1-W1

(w*W1)+(m*(T1-W1))=(t*T1)
W1(w-m) = T1(t-m)

W1/T1 =(w-m)/(t-m)

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes | No   

PRIYANKA DAS  (5 years ago)

option A is correct.
because total women attending the election=t-m
and total people=m+w
ratio=t-m/m+w
