Directions: The following caselet shows the number of males and female...
Understanding the given information
- Number of females in hospital A = 1.4 * Number of males in hospital A
- Number of males in hospital B = Number of males in hospital A - 100
- Number of females in hospital B = Number of females in hospital A - 100
- Number of females in hospital C = 0.75 * Number of females in hospital B
- Total females in all hospitals = 1750
- Ratio of females to males in hospital C = 3:2
- 66.66% of males in hospital C are married
- 40% of females in hospital C are unmarried
Solving the given information
- Let the number of males in hospital A be x. Therefore, the number of females in hospital A = 1.4x
- Number of males in hospital B = x - 100, Number of females in hospital B = 1.4x - 100
- Number of females in hospital C = 0.75(1.4x - 100)
- Total females in all hospitals = 1.4x + 1.4x - 100 + 0.75(1.4x - 100) = 1750
- Solving the above equation, we get x = 500
- Number of males in hospital C = 500, Number of females in hospital C = 0.75(1.4 * 500 - 100) = 350
Finding the number of married persons in hospital C
- Number of married males in hospital C = 66.66% of 500 = 333
- Number of married females in hospital C = 60% of 350 = 210
- Total number of married persons in hospital C = 333 + 210 = 543
Therefore, the number of married persons working in hospital C is 543, which is closest to option b) 470.
