Solution

Let the number of females who won Gold medal be ‘x’. Therefore, number males who won Silver medal = 1.25x Number of males who won Bronze medal = (900 – 1.25x) Number of males who won Gold medal = (800 – x) According to the question, => 900 – 1.25x = 800 – x => x = 100/0.25 => x = 400 Therefore, number of females who won Gold medal = x = 400 Number of females who won Bronze medal = 200 Number of female who won Silver medal = 200 + 50 = 250 Number of male who won Gold medal = 800 – x = 400 Number of male who won Silver medal = 1.25x = 500 Number of male who won Bronze medal = 900 – 1.25x = 400 Required difference = (500 + 250) – 400 = 350
