Answer 2

Answer:

Ans: 6400

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of men in the village be x.

The number of women in the village is (10400 - x)

If 5% men and 8% women are added, the population becomes 11040

x(105 / 100) + (10400 - x) (108 / 100) = 11040

(105x / 100) + (10400 * 108 / 100) - (108x / 100) = 11040

(105x / 100) + 11232 - (108x / 100) = 11040

11232 - 11040 = (108x / 100) - (105x / 100)

192 = (108 - 105 / 100) * x

192 * 100 / 3 = x

x = 19200 / 3 = 6400

Hence the number of men in the village is 6400.
