Study the following information carefully and answer the given questions.
The given data is regarding the number of doctors (D) and engineers (E) in Colleges A, B and C.
College A: Respective ratio between male doctors and male engineers is 12 : 5 and the difference between them, is 280. Total number of females (D+E) is 300. Number of male engineers is 30 more than the number of female engineers.
College B: Total number of males (D+E)=total number of females in college A (D + E). Respective ratio between total number of males (D+E) and total number of females (D +E) is `6:7` in College B. Respective ratio between the number of female doctors and the number of female engineers is `2:3`. The number of male, doctors is one-third of the number of male engineers in College C.
College C: Number of male engineers is 1.5 times the number of female doctors. Total number of females (D +E) is 550. The number of female engineers is 70 more than the number of female doctors. Total number of males (D + E) is 760.
In another college D the number of females is 640 out of which `25%` are doctors and the number of male doctors in college is `12.5%` more than that in college C. What is the total number of doctors in college D?

A

630

B

610

C

570

D

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the information provided for each college and derive the necessary values. ### Step 1: Analyze College A 1. **Male Doctors (MD) and Male Engineers (ME) Ratio**: Given as 12:5. Let MD = 12x and ME = 5x. 2. **Difference between Male Doctors and Male Engineers**: \[ MD - ME = 280 \implies 12x - 5x = 280 \implies 7x = 280 \implies x = 40 \] - Therefore, \(MD = 12x = 480\) and \(ME = 5x = 200\). 3. **Total number of females (D + E)**: Given as 300. 4. **Number of Female Engineers (FE) and Female Doctors (FD)**: - Let \(FD + FE = 300\). - Male Engineers are 30 more than Female Engineers: \(ME = FE + 30 \implies 200 = FE + 30 \implies FE = 170\). - Therefore, \(FD = 300 - 170 = 130\). ### Step 2: Analyze College B 1. **Total number of males (D + E)**: Equals total number of females in College A, which is 300. 2. **Ratio of males to females in College B**: Given as 6:7. - Let total males = 6y and total females = 7y. - From the above, \(6y = 300 \implies y = 50\). - Therefore, total males = 300 and total females = 350. 3. **Female Doctors (FD) and Female Engineers (FE) Ratio**: Given as 2:3. - Let \(FD = 2z\) and \(FE = 3z\). - Therefore, \(2z + 3z = 350 \implies 5z = 350 \implies z = 70\). - Hence, \(FD = 140\) and \(FE = 210\). ### Step 3: Analyze College C 1. **Total number of females (D + E)**: Given as 550. 2. **Number of Female Engineers (FE) and Female Doctors (FD)**: - Given that \(FE = FD + 70\). - Let \(FD = a\), then \(FE = a + 70\). - Therefore, \(a + (a + 70) = 550 \implies 2a + 70 = 550 \implies 2a = 480 \implies a = 240\). - Hence, \(FD = 240\) and \(FE = 310\). 3. **Total number of males (D + E)**: Given as 760. 4. **Male Engineers (ME)**: Given as 1.5 times the number of Female Doctors: \[ ME = 1.5 \times 240 = 360. \] 5. **Male Doctors (MD)**: \[ MD + ME = 760 \implies MD + 360 = 760 \implies MD = 400. \] ### Step 4: Analyze College D 1. **Number of females**: Given as 640, and 25% are doctors. \[ \text{Number of Female Doctors} = 25\% \text{ of } 640 = 0.25 \times 640 = 160. \] 2. **Number of Male Doctors in College D**: Given as 12.5% more than in College C. \[ MD_{D} = MD_{C} + 12.5\% \text{ of } MD_{C} = 400 + 0.125 \times 400 = 400 + 50 = 450. \] ### Step 5: Total Number of Doctors in College D 1. **Total Doctors in College D**: \[ \text{Total Doctors} = MD_{D} + FD_{D} = 450 + 160 = 610. \] ### Final Answer The total number of doctors in College D is **610**.
