LCM of 9, 1 and 3 = 9
9 x 110 x 1 of the women =
1 x 92 x 9 of the men =
3 x 35 x 3 of the children
910 of the women =
918 of the men =
915 of the children
Women : Men : Children
10 : 18 : 15
Number of women = 10 u

(c)
Number of children = 15 u
(d)
Difference between the number of men and women
= 18 u - 10 u
= 8 u
