Present population of town is 35,000 having males and
females. If The population of males is increased by 6%
and if the population of females is increased by 4%,
then after 1 year the population becomes 36,700.
Find the number males and females ?

Answer Posted / sheetal

x + y = 35000 eq 1.
.06x + .04y = 1700 eq 2.
x= male
y= female

x = 35000-y .....put this eq in eq 2.

therefore,
y = 20,000 in the population of 35000
&
x = 15,000 in the population of 35000

therfore, population in 36,700 is
female 20,800 (4% 0f 20,000 = 800)
male 15,900 (6% of 15,000 = 900)
