In a survey of 1200 people about their preferred mode of transport, 45% preferred bus, 30% preferred metro, and the rest preferred auto. Among bus users the ratio of men to women is 5:4, and among metro users 40% are women. How many more women use the bus than use the metro?

Question

Accepted Answer

96. Bus users = 45% of 1200 = 540, of whom 4/9 are women = 240. Metro users = 30% of 1200 = 360, of whom 40% are women = 144. Difference = 240 − 144 = 96.
