    B 110 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    D 120 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the number of males in the factory initially be x. Number of females in the factory initially = 180 тИТ x. After replacing 25 males with 25 females, the number of males = x тИТ 25 and the number of females = 180 тИТ x + 25. ATQ,

    Simplifying: 6(xтИТ25) = 5(205тИТx) 6x тИТ 150 = 1025 тИТ 5x 11x = 1175 x = 107 Number of males in the factory initially = 107.
