A) 4,12,480 B) 3,67,500
C) 5,44,700 D) 2,98,948
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 3,67,500

Explanation:

Let the total population be 'p'

Given ratio of male and female in a city is 7 : 8

In that percentage of children among male and female is 25% and 20%

=> Adults male and female % = 75% & 80%

But given adult females is = 156800

=> 80%(8p/15) = 156800

=> 80 x 8p/15 x 100 = 156800

=> p = 156800 x 15 x 100/80 x 8

=> p = 367500

Therefore, the total population of the city = p = 367500

= [ P(A)P(B){1−P(C)} ] + [ {1−P(A)}P(B)P(C) ] + [ P(A)P(C){1−P(B)} ] + P(A)P(B)P(C)

 

=14*13*45+34*13*15+23*14*15+14*13*15

 

= 460+360+260+160= 1060= 16
