➤ Given :-

Total population of village :- 121000

Ratio of men to women :- 6:5

$\:$

➤ To Find :-

Number of men in that total population

$\:$

★ How to do :-

Here, we are given with the total population and the ratio to the men and women as 6:5. The ratio can also be called as comparison between two objects. Here, it is compared with the men and women of the village. So, to find the value of mens first we should write them with a variable and then find the value of it and then multiply with it.

$\:$

➤ Solution :-

${\tt \leadsto 6:5 = 121000}$

${\tt \leadsto 6x + 5x = 121000}$

${\tt \leadsto 11x = 121000}$

${\tt \leadsto x = \cancel \dfrac{121000}{11} = 11000}$

Now,

Number of men :-

${\tt \leadsto 11000 \times 6}$

${\tt \leadsto 66000 \: \: mens}$

$\Huge\therefore$ There are 66000 mens in that village.
