    Number of females = 156800 x 100/80 = 196000
    ∴ Number of males = 7/8 x 196000 = 171500
    Total population = 196000 + 171500 = 367500

    Correct Option: B

    Number of females = 156800 x 100/80 = 196000
    ∴ Number of males = 7/8 x 196000 = 171500
    Total population = 196000 + 171500 = 367500

    Let the Hari Lal was having R rupees in beginning.
    ∵ R - [40% of R + 25% of R + 15% of R + 5% of R] = 1305
    ⇒ R - 85% of R = 1305
    ⇒ 15% of R = 1305

    Correct Option: C

    Let the Hari Lal was having R rupees in beginning.
    ∵ R - [40% of R + 25% of R + 15% of R + 5% of R] = 1305
    ⇒ R - 85% of R = 1305
    ⇒ 15% of R = 1305
    ∴ R = (1305 x 100)/15 = 8700

    ∵ 30% of 180 + N% of 150 = 50% of (180 + 150)
    ⇒ 54 + (N x 150)/100 = 165
    ⇒ 3N/2 = 111

    Correct Option: A

    ∵ 30% of 180 + N% of 150 = 50% of (180 + 150)
    ⇒ 54 + (N x 150)/100 = 165
    ⇒ 3N/2 = 111
    ∴ N = (111 x 2) / 3 =74
