Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFLet the total number of people in the group be x.
40% are male, so the number of males =0.4x
The rest are female, so the number of females = x - 0.4x = 0.6x
40% are graduates, so the number of female graduates = 0.4 × 0.6x = 0.24x
The remaining females are postgraduates, so the number of female postgraduates = 0.6x - 0.24x = 0.36x
Given that the number of female postgraduates is 360:
0.36x = 360
x = 360 / 0.36 = 1000
Number of males = 0.4x = 0.4 × 1000 = 400
Thus, the number of males in the group is 400.
