The ratio of men to women in a certain club with 150 members is m : w and the ratio of officers to non-officers is o : n. There are 75 men in the club and there are 16 officers in the club. If two-fifteenths of female members are officers, how many male non-officers are in the club?

A. 6
B. 10
C. 65
D. 69
E. It cannot be determined from information given.
Breakdown and solve -

Quote:
The ratio of men to women in a certain club with 150 members is m : w.........

There are 75 men in the club.....


Men = Women = 75

Quote:
there are 16 officers in the club...

Officers = 16 & Non Officers = 134

Quote:
If two-fifteenths of female members are officers....

Female Officers = \(\frac{2}{15}*75\) => 10
Male Officers = 6

Finally we have -

Officers = 16 ( Female Officers - 10 , Male Officers - 6) & Non Officers = 134 (Female Non Officer - 65 ; Male Non Officer = 69 )

So, Total number of male non-officers in the club is 69 , Answer is (D)

E. It cannot be determined from information given.

Total members = 150

Total Men = 75 (Given); Total Women = 150 - 75 (Total Men) = 75

Officers = 16 (Given) ; Non - officers = 150 - 16 (Officers) = 134

Female Officers = 2/15*75 = 10

Male Officers = 16 - 10 (Female Officers) = 6

Male Non Officers = Total Men - Male Officers = 75 - 6 = 69

Since there are 75 men in a 150-member club, there are 75 women also. Since 2/15 x 75 = 10 officers are women, 16 - 10 = 6 officers are men, and therefore, 75 - 6 = 69 are male non-officers.
