the number of male students increases by 30% and the number of female students increases by 20% in a year and after the increase total number of students in the college is 16,440, what is the difference between the initial number of male and female students in the college ?Solution
Let, the initial no. of male students be X . X × 130% + (13,200 – X ) × 120% = 16,440 ⇒ 1.30 X + 15,840 – 1.20 X = 16,440 ⇒ 0.10 X = 600 ⇒ X = 6,000 No. of female students = 13,200 – 6,000 = 7,200 Required difference = 7,200 – 6,000 = 1,200 Or Use Alligation Net increase in Population = `(16440-13200)/(13200)xx 100 = 3240/13200 xx 100 = 270/11%` Male Female 20% 30% Net Change% = 270/11% So New Values, Male Female 220 330 Net Change = 270
