Actually this is one of the simpler sentence correction questions. As soon as we read the original statement we can cancel out all "not only...but also" formations. The reason is that the two sections of the statement do not convey the same negative / positive meaning. D clearly explains t...

We can use 100 as total number of people in the organization but we see a fraction 3/8 down the question. So better if we use an easier number like 80. Total Member : 80 Number of women : 30% of 80 = 24 Married Men : (3/8)*80 = 30 Unmarried Men : 80 - 24 -30 = 26 Now running through the options only...

Even simpler is :

5^21 * 4^11

5^11 * 5^10 * 2^11 * 2^10 * 2^1

10^11 * 10^10 * 2^1

10^21 * 2^1

This was my way of doing it stepwise :

5^21 * 4^11

5^10 * 5^11 * 4^11

5^10 * 20^11

5^10 * 2^11 * 10^11

5^10 * 2^10 * 2^1 10^11

10^10 * 2^1 * 10^11

2^1 * 10^21

hence n is 21
