Initially, the men and women in a room were in the ratio of 4 : 5. Then, 2 men entered the room and 3 women left the room. Then, the number of women doubled. Now there are 14 men in the room. How many W women are currently in the room?  Pick:
A) 12 B) 14 C) 15 D) 24 E) 36

Rationale: "the number of women doubled means that they have become 24 from 12 . . and we have to tell the current strength so 24 is the answer . . let the number be 4 x and 5 x . . given 4 x + 2 = 14 . . so x = 3 . . women number = 5 * 3 - 3 = 12 , then doubled = 24 . . ans d"
Answer: D
