The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow these calculations: 1. **Understand the given information:** - Initial population of the village = 5000 - Increase in male population = 10% - Increase in female population = 15% - New population after increases = 5600 2. **Calculate the total increase in population:** \[ \text{Total increase} = \text{New population} - \text{Initial population} = 5600 - 5000 = 600 \] 3. **Determine the percentage increase in population:** \[ \text{Percentage increase} = \left(\frac{\text{Total increase}}{\text{Initial population}}\right) \times 100 = \left(\frac{600}{5000}\right) \times 100 = 12\% \] 4. **Set up the relationship using the percentage increases:** - Let the number of males be \( M \) and the number of females be \( F \). - From the problem, we have: \[ \text{Increase in males} = 10\% \text{ of } M = 0.1M \] \[ \text{Increase in females} = 15\% \text{ of } F = 0.15F \] 5. **Write the equation for the total increase in population:** \[ 0.1M + 0.15F = 600 \] 6. **Express the total population in terms of males and females:** \[ M + F = 5000 \] 7. **Now, we have a system of equations:** - Equation 1: \( M + F = 5000 \) - Equation 2: \( 0.1M + 0.15F = 600 \) 8. **From Equation 1, express \( F \) in terms of \( M \):** \[ F = 5000 - M \] 9. **Substitute \( F \) into Equation 2:** \[ 0.1M + 0.15(5000 - M) = 600 \] \[ 0.1M + 750 - 0.15M = 600 \] \[ -0.05M + 750 = 600 \] 10. **Solve for \( M \):** \[ -0.05M = 600 - 750 \] \[ -0.05M = -150 \] \[ M = \frac{-150}{-0.05} = 3000 \] 11. **Find the number of males in the village:** \[ \text{Number of males} = 3000 \] ### Final Answer: The number of males in the village is **3000**.
