    Solution:

    The formula for combined mean is

    X¯=n1X¯1+n2X¯2n1+n2

    We are given X¯=25,X¯1=26,X¯2=21

    Let n1+n2=100, where n1 denotes the number of men and n2
    the number of women.

     n2=100n1

    Substituting those values in (i), we have

    25=26n1+21100n1100n1=80 n1+n2=100n2=20
