Total members = 240

Total males = 160

Total Females = 80

Absolute Difference between number of females who are non-graduates and number of males who are graduates = 24 – 20 = 4

Total members = 240

Total males = 160

Total Females = 80

=> sum of the number of females who are graduates and the number of males who are non-graduates = 136 + 60 = 196

Total members = 240

Total males = 160

Total Females = 80

Ratio of total number of males to number of female non-graduates = 160 : 20 = 8 : 1

Parineeta’s present age = 33 – 9 = 24 yrs.
Manisha’s present age = 24 – 9 = 15yrs
Difference between Manisha and Deepali’s prresent ages = Parineeta’s present age
Deepali’s present age = Parineeta’s present age + Manisha’s present age = 24 + 15 = 39 yrs.
Ratio of the present age of Manisha and Deepali = 15 : 39 = 5 : 13
x = 13

Total marks = 24 x 56 = 1344
Sum of actual marks = 1344 – (44 + 45 + 61) + (48 + 59 + 67) = 1368
Actual Average = $\frac{1368}{24}$ = 57

Ritu’s marks = 56% of 875 = $\frac{56}{100}$ = 490

Smita’s marks = 92% of 875 = $\frac{92}{100}$ = 805

Rina’s marks = 634

Total marks = 1929

Average = $\frac{490 + 805 + 634}{3}$ = $\frac{1929}{3}$ = 643

Let the amount be x
If the amount is divided into 9 parts , each part = $\frac{x}{9}$
B’s supposed amount = 3 x $\frac{x}{9}$ = $\frac{x}{3}$
But B’s actual amount = 2 x $\frac{x}{14}$ = $\frac{x}{7}$
$\frac{x}{3}$ – $\frac{x}{7}$ = 40
x = 210

Share of A = $\frac{4}{11}$ x 73689 = 26796
Thrice share of A = 80388
Share of B = $\frac{7}{11}$ x 73689 = 46893
Twice the share of B = 93786
Difference = 13398

The mixture contains 20% water and 80% of wine.
By the rule of allegation, Ratio of wine : water = 75 : 5 = 15 : 1
For 15 L wine, 1 L water is to be added.
∴ For 150 L wine,$\frac{(150*1)}{15}=10$ L to be added.

let’s say present age of son is x, hence father’s age will be 3x
4 years later, (x+4)*2 +13 = 3x+4 ; x=17 and 3x=51

Let x be the total number of students.

52% of the students participated i.e .52x students participated.

48% of the students did not participate i.e .48x students did not participate.

Hence the ratio of students who did not participate to the students who participated is $\frac{.48x}{.52x}$ = $\frac{12}{13}$

The average of all the females studying HRM in different colleges = [36+58+85+54+47+20]/6 = $\frac{300}{6}$ =50

Total number of males in college L = 62+34+15+18+56+58= 243

Total number of females in college L = 65+14+58+56+65+86=344

Now, for percent of male of total females = 243/344 * 100 = 70%

Total number of students specializing in economics in college P = 87

Total number of students specializing in physchology in college P = 117

Ratio = 87/117

The required percent = (Number of females/Number of males)*10 = (57+79+24)/(56+86+35)*100=(177/166)*100=110

Total number of student is addition of all the students doing all the specialization = 18+28+67+25+26+85+25+35+64+85= 572

Let total number of members be T.

The number of married number if percent is 28% = .28T

Hence, percent of unmarried members = (100-28)%=72%

And the number = .72T

The ratio of married to unmarried= .28/.72 = $\frac{7}{18}$

Let numerator be x and denominator be y.

If numerator is increased by 200% it becomes 3x and if numerator is increased by 150% it becomes 2.5y

Now the new fraction is 9/10.

Hence, (3x/2.5y)=(9/10) which gives $\frac{x}{y}$=$\frac{3}{4}$

The time taken by her to type 5000 words essay at a speed of 60words/min = 5000/60=83.33
Now when the speef is increased by 15%, the new speed = 69 words/min|
Time taken by her to type 5000 words essay with this speed = 5000/69 = 72.46
Time difference ~ 10 minutes
