The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the ratios given in the question and use them to find the number of children on Bhojpur island. ### Step 1: Understand the Ratios We know that: - The ratio of men to women is 4:3. - The ratio of children to men is 5:3. ### Step 2: Set Up the Ratios Let's denote: - The number of men as \( M \) - The number of women as \( W \) - The number of children as \( C \) From the ratios, we can express \( M \) and \( C \) in terms of \( W \): - From the ratio of men to women (4:3), we can write: \[ \frac{M}{W} = \frac{4}{3} \implies M = \frac{4}{3}W \] - From the ratio of children to men (5:3), we can write: \[ \frac{C}{M} = \frac{5}{3} \implies C = \frac{5}{3}M \] ### Step 3: Substitute the Number of Women We are given that there are 531 women on the island: \[ W = 531 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Number of Men Substituting \( W \) into the equation for \( M \): \[ M = \frac{4}{3} \times 531 = \frac{4 \times 531}{3} = \frac{2124}{3} = 708 \] ### Step 5: Calculate the Number of Children Now, substitute \( M \) into the equation for \( C \): \[ C = \frac{5}{3} \times 708 = \frac{5 \times 708}{3} = \frac{3540}{3} = 1180 \] ### Conclusion Thus, the number of children on Bhojpur island is: \[ C = 1180 \] ### Final Answer The number of children on Bhojpur island is **1180**. ---
