Question 74

The ratio of number of children, women and men in colony is 6 : 4 : 3 respectively and the colony has at least 200 members. What could be the minimum number of women in the colony?

Let the number of children, women and men be 6x, 4x and 3x respectively.
Then, Total members in the colony = 6x+4x+3x = 13x
Given that the colony has at least 200 members.
Since, 200 is not divisible by 13, Total members in the colony will be 208.
13x = 208 => x = 16
Therefore, Number of women = 4x = 4*16 = 64
