Question
The ratio of number of men to women in a team is 3:2, respectively. If the number of men were 10 less and the number of women were 15 more, then their numbers would be equal. Find the original number of women in the team.
Solution
ATQ,
Let the number of men and women be '3n' and '2n', respectively.
So, 3n - 10 = 2n + 15
Or, 'n' = 25
Therefore, number of women = 25 × 2 = 50
