Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : C Given: The number of women on the train is half the number of men. In Faridabad city, 10 men get off the train and five women enter the train. Concept Used: Concept of the linear equation of one variable Calculation: Let, the number of men in the train is 2x Accordingly, the number of women on the train is x In Faridabad city, 10 men get off the train and five women enter the train. Now, the number of men in the train is (2x - 10) and the number of women in the train is (x + 5) Accordingly, (2x - 10) = (x + 5) ⇒ 2x - x = 5 + 10 ⇒ x = 15 In the beginning, the number of women on the train was 15 and the number of men on the train was 15 × 2 = 30 At the beginning number of passengers in the train was (30 + 15) = 45 ∴ In the beginning, 45 passengers entered the train. |
