Question

Q.2 In a function, there are 1000 people. If the number of women is five
times the number of men and the number of men is four times the numb
of children. How many children are there in the party?

Answer 1

Answer:

let no:of children be x

so, no:of men is 4x

so, no:of women is 5(4x)=20x

as per given information

20x+4x+x=1000

=>25x=1000

=>x=40

so no:of childrens are 40

Answer 2

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

let the no. of women be x

let the no. of men be y

let the no. of children be z

acc. to the question the eq. is

x + y + z =1000

x = 5y = (5)(4z) = 20z (substituting the value of y from below)

y = 4z

substituting the values

x + y + z =1000

20z + 4z + z = 1000

25z = 1000

z = 1000 ÷ 25

z = 40

Therefore the no. of children is 40

hope this helps
