In a graduate physics course, 70 percent of the students are male and 30 percent of the students are married. If two-sevenths of the male students are married, what fraction of the female students is married? Choose the most appropriate option.
A) 2/7 B) 1/3 C) 1/2 D) 2/3 E) 5/7
let assume there are 100 students of which 70 are male and 30 are females   if 30 are married then 70 will be single.   now its given that two-sevenths of the male students are married that means 2/7 of 70 = 20 males are married   if 30 is the total number of students who are married and out of that 20 are males then the remaining 10 will be females who are married.   total females = 30   married females = 10   then single females = 30-10=

<output>20</output>
20   we need to find the fraction of female students who are single i.e single female students / total female student= 10/30 = 1/3 [1/3]
