Download Solution PDFGiven:
The following table shows the population (in hundreds) of five different cities (A, B, C, D and E) categorized by gender.
Formula used:
X divided in ratio a : b where a is for men and b is for women then, number of women = b / (a + b) × X.
Calculation:
Number of women in city A = 2 / (1 + 2) × 2340
⇒ 2 / 3 × 2340
⇒ 1560
Number of women in city B = 1 / (3 + 1) × 900
⇒ 1 / 4 × 900
⇒ 225
Total number of women in city A and city B = 1785
∴ The correct answer is 1785.
