Math Problem Statement

In a school, there are three houses : Red, Blue , and Green. Each houses has a certain number of students, and each student must choose to travel to either the Museum or Red Fort. The total number of students accross all three houses is 800, with the Red House having 350 students. Students travelling to the Museum : The Blue house has 150 students.the total number of males and total number of females from the Red and Green houses together are equal.The Red House has an equal number of males and females. Students Travelling to the Red Fort : the Green house has 120 Students, which is twice the number of students in the Blue house. The number of students from the Red House is 60% of the total number of students from all houses travelling to the Red Fort . The ratio of males to females in the Red, Blue, and Green houses is 3:2, 1:1, and 5:1 , respectively.

Solution

To solve this problem, we need to determine the distribution of students across the different houses and destinations (Museum and Red Fort), taking into account the given ratios of males to females.

1. Distribute Total Students Among Houses

We know:

  • Total students across all houses: 800800
  • Students in the Red House: 350350

Let the number of students in the Blue House be xx, and in the Green House be yy. Thus, we have: 350+x+y=800350 + x + y = 800 x+y=450(Equation 1)x + y = 450 \quad \text{(Equation 1)}

2. Distribute Students Traveling to Museum

We know:

  • Blue House has 150150 students traveling to the Museum.
  • The total number of males and females from Red and Green houses together is equal.
  • The Red House has an equal number of males and females.

Let:

  • Number of students traveling to the Museum from Red House be rmr_m.
  • Number of students traveling to the Museum from Green House be gmg_m.

Thus:

  • rmr_m males and rmr_m females travel from the Red House (since males = females in Red House).
  • Let mgm_g be the number of males traveling from the Green House and fgf_g be the number of females.

The equation for gender equality in Red and Green Houses traveling to the Museum is: 2rm+mg+fg(total males and females from Red and Green Houses to Museum)2r_m + m_g + f_g \quad \text{(total males and females from Red and Green Houses to Museum)}

Since the total number of males and females are equal: 2rm+mg+fg=2rm+2gm2r_m + m_g + f_g = 2r_m + 2g_m

3. Distribute Students Traveling to Red Fort

  • The Green House has 120120 students traveling to the Red Fort.
  • The number of students from the Blue House traveling to the Red Fort is 120/2=60120/2 = 60.
  • Let rfr_f be the number of students traveling to the Red Fort from the Red House.

From the problem statement: rf=0.6×Total number of students traveling to the Red Fortr_f = 0.6 \times \text{Total number of students traveling to the Red Fort}

Let the total number of students traveling to the Red Fort be TT: T=60+120+rfT = 60 + 120 + r_f rf=0.6×Tr_f = 0.6 \times T

Substituting rf=0.6Tr_f = 0.6T: T=60+120+0.6TT = 60 + 120 + 0.6T T0.6T=180T - 0.6T = 180 0.4T=180T=4500.4T = 180 \quad \Rightarrow \quad T = 450

Thus, rf=0.6×450=270r_f = 0.6 \times 450 = 270.

4. Ratio of Males to Females

Given:

  • Red House: 32\frac{3}{2}
  • Blue House: 11\frac{1}{1}
  • Green House: 51\frac{5}{1}

Calculate the number of males and females using the ratios and distribution calculated earlier.

Since the number of males and females in the Red House is equal, rmr_m can be computed by: 32×Number of Females=Number of Males\frac{3}{2} \times \text{Number of Females} = \text{Number of Males}

And similar calculations apply to the other houses.

Summary

With the provided details:

  • The number of students per house traveling to Museum/Red Fort.
  • Gender ratio.
  • Total students per house.

These details can now be computed accurately and broken down according to the given ratios and constraints.
