Correct Answer :

Option A

85

85

Solution :

The correct answer is 85.

Let's carefully extract all the given information and assign variables:

- Total visitors across all three days (Monday + Tuesday + Sunday) = 135
- Males on Tuesday = 20, Females on Tuesday = 40
- Ratio of visitors on Sunday : Tuesday = 1 : 2
- Males on Sunday = 40% of Females on Monday
- Females on Sunday = Females on Monday − 5

Step 1: Find the total visitors on Tuesday and Sunday.

Total visitors on Tuesday = Males on Tuesday + Females on Tuesday = 20 + 40 = 60

Since the ratio of Sunday visitors to Tuesday visitors is 1 : 2:

Sunday visitors / Tuesday visitors = 1 / 2
Sunday visitors = 60 × (1/2) = 30

Step 2: Find the total visitors on Monday.

Monday + Tuesday + Sunday = 135
Monday = 135 − 60 − 30 = 45

Step 3: Find the number of Females on Monday.

Let Females on Monday = F

From the given conditions:
- Males on Sunday = 40% of F = 0.4F
- Females on Sunday = F − 5

Total on Sunday = Males on Sunday + Females on Sunday:
0.4F + (F − 5) = 30
1.4F − 5 = 30
1.4F = 35
F = 35 / 1.4 = 25

So, Females on Monday = 25

Step 4: Find Females on Sunday.

Females on Sunday = F − 5 = 25 − 5 = 20

Step 5: Calculate total females across all three days.

Total Females = Females on Monday + Females on Tuesday + Females on Sunday
Total Females = 25 + 40 + 20 = 85

Verification:
- Males on Sunday = 0.4 × 25 = 10 ✓
- Total on Sunday = 10 + 20 = 30 ✓
- Total on Tuesday = 60 ✓
- Grand Total = 45 + 60 + 30 = 135 ✓

Therefore, the total number of females who visited the museum across all days = 85.
