View Dynamic Solution & Explanation
Correct Solution: Option B

Step-by-step Solution:

Let us take x number of male and y number of female. \[\] \(\frac{1}{2}(y-15)=x\) \[\] \(5(x-45)=y\) \[\] \(2 x-y=-15\) \[\] \(5 x-y=225\) \[\] \(\Rightarrow 3 x=240\) or \(x=80\) \[\] Hence number of males will be 80 . \[\] Choice (B)\[\]
