Answer: 6 men, 30 women, and 64 children

Step-by-step explanation:

30 women = 60 mangoes

64 children = 16 mangoes

Total population (100) Total mangoes(100)

6 Men * 4 = 24 Mangoes

30 Women * 2 = 60 Mangoes

64 Children \ 4 = 16 Mangoes

Given data:

  • According to the given question, there are 100 mangoes in a basket.
  • The population is 100 people.
  • However, one gave four fruits to a man, two fruits to a woman, and one fruit to four children.

To find:

How many men, women, and children were there?

Solution:

For a while, the total number of men who took the fruits be 'x' and the number of females be 'y'.

Then, the number of children becomes 100 - (x + y).

The equation that comes when these are arranged in the order given is:

4x + 2y + [(100 - (x + y)) / 4] = 100

16x + 8y + 100 - x - y = 100 * 4

15x + 7y = 400 - 100

15x + 7y = 300

The rephrased equation will be

x = (300 - 7y) / 15

Since there are two unknown variables ​​here, we need to see which values ​​should be placed in the 'y' position, such that the equation is completely divided and gives a natural number as an output.

The resulting x,y pairs are: [without 0]

If y = 15 then x = 13.

If y = 30 then x = 6.

On substitution, the possible answers that we found here are:

Answer 1:

Number of females: 15

Number of males: 13

Number of children: 72

Or

Answer 2:

Number of females: 30

Number of males: 6

Number of children: 64
