Whether any of Tim and Aisha are correct or not. Given: The solutions of Tim and Aisha are: Tim: 78162=193x 78x=(162)(193) 78x=31,266 x≈400.8 Aisha: 16278=x193 162(193)=78x 31,266=78x x=400.8

Calculation: Two years ago: Men =162. Women =78. Ratio of men and women will be: =16278 This year: Men =193. Let women =x. Ratio of men and women will be: =193x Ratio of both the years is same. The women enrolling this year will be: 16278=193x 162x=78(193) 162x=15054 162x162=15054162 x=92.92 x=93 Therefore, Tim and Aisha both are wrong.

Whether any of Tim and Aisha are correct or not.
Given: The solutions of Tim and Aisha are:
Tim:

\frac{78}{162} = \frac{193}{x}

78 x = (162) (193)

78 x = 31, 266

x \approx 400.8

Aisha:

\frac{162}{78} = \frac{x}{193}

162 (193) = 78 x

31, 266 = 78 x

x = 400.8

Calculation:
Two years ago:
Men

= 162

.
Women

= 78

.
Ratio of men and women will be:

= \frac{162}{78}

This year:
Men

= 193

.
Let women

= x

.
Ratio of men and women will be:

= \frac{193}{x}

Ratio of both the years is same. The women enrolling this year will be:

\frac{162}{78} = \frac{193}{x}

162 x = 78 (193)

162 x = 15054

\frac{162 x}{162} = \frac{15054}{162}

x = 92.92

x = 93

Therefore, Tim and Aisha both are wrong.
