Question

    In a factory, total number of workers (male + female)

    are 480. If the number of female workers is 40% more than the number of male workers in the factory, then find the number of female workers working in the factory.
    A 350 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 240 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 360 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 280 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let, the number of male workers in the factory be 'x'. So, the number of female workers = 1.40 X x = '1.4x' ATQ, x + 1.4x = 480 Or, 2.4x = 480 Or, x = (480/2.4) = 200 So, the number of female workers in the factory = 1.4x = 1.4 X 200 = 280
