Answer 1

Dear Student,

◆ Answer -

Males : Females : Children = 225 : 288 : 400

● Explanation -

Let x be some random variable such that -

Males = 3x

Females = 4x

Children = 5x

Later, males increased such that 3x×5/4 = 15x/4. Females increased by 4x×6/5 = 24x/5. Children increased by 5x×4/3 = 20x/3.

Now, ratio of Males : Females : Children = 15/4 : 24/5 : 20/3 = 225 : 288 : 400.

Hence, ratio of Males : Females : Children = 225 : 288 : 400.

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you...
