Question 1
The table shows the flats occupied by public sector employees in four different buildings, the ratio of flats occupied by public sector and private sector employees and the percentage of vacant flats. Read the table and answer the following questions.
| Building | Flats occupied by public sector employees | Ratio of flats occupied (public : private) | Vacant flats (% of total flats) |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | \(4x + 40\) | \(2 : 1\) | 40% |
| B | 240 | \(8 : 5\) | 25% |
| C | 300 | \(5 : 3\) | 20% |
| D | 150 | \(2 : 1\) | 55% |
Note: 1. Occupied flats in A is 300.
2. Total flats in the building = occupied flats + vacant flats.
In A, the number of flats occupied by females working in the public sector is 120, which is 20% more than the number of flats occupied by males working in the private sector. Find the sum of flats occupied by males in the public sector and females in the private sector.
