Question

84 athletes 2 part in 100 meter hurdle race competition number of female athletes was 32 less than that of male athletes find number of male and female athletes maths class 10​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let no of male athletes be x

no. of female athletes (x - 2)

ATQ:

\begin{gathered}x + (x - 2) = 84 \\ \\ x + x + 2 = 84 \\ \\ 2x + 2 = 84 \\ \\ 2x = 84 - 2 \\ \\ 2x = 82 \\ \\ x = \frac{82}{2} \\ \\ x = 41 \\ \\ \end{gathered}

x+(x−2)=84

x+x+2=84

2x+2=84

2x=84−2

2x=82

x=

2

82

x=41

no of male athletes be x = 41

no. of female athletes (x - 2) = 41 - 2 = 39
