two equations are 3x+2y+0.48z=500x+y+z=500solving we get y=(6500-63x)/38 under y>xvery difficult to solvegive alternative way

solution:let no of men as m, women as w and children as c.3m+2w+0.48c=500 ----- I equationm+w+c=500 -------II equationsolve I and II, get1.52c=500+m, put least possible values for c and m,...
