The sum of the number of male and female students in an institute is 100. If the number of male students is $$x$$ , then the number of female students becomes $$x$$% of the total number of students. Find the number of male students.
Given, number of male students = $$x$$
Number of female students = $$x$$% of total students
Total number students = 100
$$\Rightarrow$$Â $$x+\frac{x}{100}\times100=100$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ Â $$x+x=100$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ Â $$x=50$$
$$\therefore\ $$Number of male students = 50
Hence, the correct answer is Option B
