Q:

In a class of 60 students, the number of boys and girls participating in the annual sports is in the ratio 3 : 2 respectively. The number of girls not participating in the sports is 5 more than the number of boys not participating in the sports. If the number of boys participating in the sports is 15, then how many girls are there in the class ?

A) 20 B) 25
C) 30 D) Data inadequate
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 30

Explanation:

Let the number of boys and girls participating in sports be 3x and 2x respectively.

 

Then, 3x = 15 or x = 5.

 

So, number of girls participating in sports = 2x = 10.

 

Number of students not participating in sports = 60 - (15 + 10) = 35.

 

Let number of boys not participating in sports be y.

 

Then, number of girls not participating in sports = (35 -y).

 

Therefore (35 - y) = y + 5 <=> 2y<=>  30<=> y = 15.

 

So, number of girls not participating in sports = (35 - 15) = 20.

 

Hence, total number of girls in the class = (10 + 20) = 30.

Q:

In a certain office, 1/3 of workers are women, 1/2 of the women are married and 1/3 of the married women have children. If 3/4  of the men are married and 2/3  of the married men have children, what part of the workers are without children?

A) 5/18 B) 4/9
C) 11/18 D) 17/36
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 11/18

Explanation:

Let the total number of workers be x. Then, 

 

Number of women = x/3 and number of men = x - x/3  = 2x/3

 

Number of women having children = x/18

 

Number of men having children = x/3

 

Number of workers having children = (x/18) + (x/3) = 7x/18

  

Therefore, workers having no children = x - 7x/18 = 11/18 of all workers.
