Answer 2

Answer:

The Correct Answer would be 260. There are total 260 children in the theater.

Explanation:

In the given question, we are asked to find the number of children that are actually present in the theater.

Let us take a look at the given information first :

Given :  

1. All are children except 50 persons.
2. All are men except 200 persons.
3. All are women except 110 persons.

To Find : Number of children present.

Now, there can only be males and females present in the theater, in which children are included.

Except 200 people, all are men according to question. This means number of women present = 200.

Except 110 people, all present are women. This means number of men present in the theater = 110

Therefore, total number of people present = 200+110

                                                                       = 310.

Hence, number of children would be = total number of people - 50

                                                              = 310 - 50

                                                              = 260.

Therefore, number of children present = 260.
