5y and 4y
No. of illiterate males= 5y-3600
No. of illiterate females = 4y- 5400
Now according to question
5y-3600/4y-5400 = 4/3
3.(5y-3600) = 4.(4y-5400)
15y-10800 = 16y - 21600

Q1- Solution - Let the number of literate males to Let the total number of male to female employee in
number of literate females in ratio 5:4 be 5x and 4x. ratio 3:2 be 3y and 2y
Since the number of literate males is 2500 According to question
So 5x = 2500 3y-30/2y-60=2/1
x = 2500/5 = 500 1.(3y-30) = 2.(2y-60)
Number of literate females = 4.x = 4.500 = 2000 On solving
Now let the total number of males to females in ratio y = 90
7:4 be 7y and 4y So total number of female employee = 2.y =2.90 =180
Now according to question Ans A.
7y-2500/4y-2000= 9/5
5.(7y-2500) = 9.(4y-2000)
35y-12500 = 36y-18000
On solving
y = 5500
Now Total number of females = 4.y = 4.5500 = 22000
Ans A.
