Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 2 : Only b

Given

Total dancers = 300 

Female dancers = x

Male dancers = x% of total dancers

Calculation

Number of male dancers = (300 - x)

According to question,

 300 

× (x/100) = (300 - x)

 3x = 300 - x

 4x = 300

⇒ x = 75

No. of female dancers are 75

So, statement (a) is wrong

Number of male dancers = 300 - 75 = 225

So, statement (b) is correct.

∴ The correct option is 2 (Only b).
