A town have a population of 500000 and 42% of males and 28% of females are married to same town. find the total number of males

• it is clear from question that42%male equals 28%female..so ratio of males to females =2:3
  so number of males =2/5*500000=200000

• Given 42% males means remaining 58% are females
  
  i.e., in a city out of 500000, 210000 are men and 290000 are female.
  
  out of 290000 ,28% are married i.e 71200 are married female
  
  Thus we can say 71200 men are married.
  
  Thus from above assumptions we can say that total men are 210000, 71200 men are married and remaining are not married. 33.2 % are married and remaining 66.8% are unmarried

• it is given 42% males.
  now 28% females will marry 28% of man
  so total is 42+28=70%
  (500000*70)100 =350000

• 42m = 28f
  => m= (42/(42+28))*500000
  = 300000

• 42% of males = 28 % of females
  42:28 = females:males = 3:2
  number of males = 500000*2/5 = 200000

• x is male
  y is female
  x+y=500000------------(1)
  they merried so both numbers are same
  so that
  0.42x=0.28y-----------(2)
  solve 1 and 2
  u will get x=200000
  y=300000.....
  so males=2 lakh(answer)

• let x be the no of men so (500000-x) will be no of women
  acc to que 42% of x=28% of (500000-x)
  x=200000
