married males = p/6
unmarried males =(4p/9-p/6) = 5p/18
Percentage of unmarried males in the total males = {(5p/18)/4p/9}x100 = (5p/18)x(9/4p) = 125/2 % = 62.5%

Non- defective products
Correct Answer: 700
Explanation:
Let number of boys in the school = x
Let number of girls in the school = y
Number of students participated in the sports = 300
Out of which boys = 100
but given number of boys participated in sports = x/3
=> x/3 = 100
=> x = 300
Remaining girls = 300 - 100 = 200
=> y/2 = 200
=> y = 400
Therefore, total number of students in the school = x + y = 300 + 400 = 700
