Correct Answer: (4)

Solution: (4)

Number of passengers who go to college on Monday $=\frac{180 \times 25}{100}=45$

$\therefore$ Female passengers who go to college $=\frac{4}{9} \times 45=20$

Total female passengers $=180-100=80$

$\therefore$ Required per cent $=\frac{20}{80} \times 100=25 \%$
