Question

One third of a group of people are men .If the no. of women are 200 more than the men .Find total no. of people.​

Answer 1

let the number of men are x and women are 3x

so 3x-x= 200

or x= 200/2

or, x= 100

so no. of men is 100

and no. of women is 300

so total number of people is 400

Answer 2

$Answer:-$

⇒ Let the total people be x.

________________________________

According to the question:-

⇒ No. of men = $\frac{1}{3}$ $x$

⇒ Women = $200 + \frac{1}{3} x$

________________________________

So,

$x = \frac{1}{3} x + 200 + \frac{1}{2}$

$x = 200 + \frac{2x}{3}$

$x = 600 + 2 x$

$x -2 x = 600$

$-x = 600$

No. the total number of people must be a positive number.

________________________________

So,

The total number of people is 600.
