l=(F/P)^1/n-1

In case (A), x and y could, for example, both be equal fractions and x/y would be an integer.

3/8 as a Decimal :

In this we should convert the denominator into 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000,... to make it simple.

Now to make 8 into 1000, we multiply numerator and denominator with 125

=> 3 x 1258 x 125 = 3751000 = 0.375

1/10 as a Decimal :

1 divided into 10 parts of each 0.1.

Therefore, 3/8 = 0.375 and 1/10 = 0.1 in decimals.

If the Multiples for two or more numbers which are Common, then those Multiples are said to be Common Multiples. 

For Example :

Multiples of 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30,...

Multiples of 5 are 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30,...

Here common multiples of 3 & 5 upto 30 are 15, 30.

Any number which can be expressed as a fraction of two integers like P & Q as P/Q where Q is not equal to zero.

Every integer is a rational number since Q can be 1.

Hence, in the given options, 4 can be expressed as a simple fraction as 4/1. And all other options cannot be expressed as fractions.

Hence, 4 is a rational number in the given options.

Total engineers = 4800

Number of female engineers = 3/8 x 4800 = 1800

Then, number of male engineers = 4800 - 1800 = 3000

Now, required is female engineers is what percentage of the number of male engineers

=> 1800 is what % of 3000

=> p x 3000/100 = 1800

=> 30p = 1800

p = 60%

Hence, female engineers is 60 percentage of the number of male engineers.
