What is the total number of female children staying in all the societies together?
Options:
A) 314
B) 433
C) 410
D) 343
E) None of these 
Solution:
Ans (c) Female children in society 

A = 60% of 25% of (250+350) = 90

B=25% of 40% of (150+400) = 55

Similarly, for

C=69, D=29, E= 86 and F= 81 

\(\therefore\) total female children

= 90+55 + 69+29+86+81=410 

\(\therefore\) Number of adult females 

= (350 + 150 + 275 + 300 + 250 + 300) - 410

= 1215 /

\(\therefore\) required ratio = 1215: 410 = 243: 82
