6% of 350000

$$\begin{gathered} 6100 x 3,50,000 \\ = 6 x 3500 \\ = 21,000. \end{gathered}$$

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.

Given that x = 2+ 223 + 213

So x - 2 = 223 + 213

Now cubing on both sides, we get

=> x3-8-6x2+12x = 4 + 2 + 6(x-2)

Therefore, x3-6x2+6x = -6 + 8 = 2
