Step 1 85% of 160 is 136..hence
No. of Men = 136
No. of women = 24
Let the number of people who left be X
Remaining = 160 - X
Now 30% of X + 10% of 160-X = 24 (Total women)
Solving for X...No of people who left the room is 40
Number left in the room is 120....
No of your answers match :( Please check your question...
Let A = 8X + Ra
Let B = 8Y + Rb
If Ra is equal to Rb then 3Ra = 3Rb and 5Ra = 5Rb; Since (A) and (B) independently deny this; we can conclude that Ra is not equal to Rb. If it were 9a = 9b then it would be a different story.
Hence D.
