120/200 = men : children.
15men = 25 children.
200-150 = 50(consumed).
(25x2)Children = 50(remaning).
:.(15x2)men = 30(remaining).
15men = 25 children.
200-150 = 50(consumed).
(25x2)Children = 50(remaning).
:.(15x2)men = 30(remaining).

200 children = 120 men.
1 child = 120/200.
= 0.6.
Hence, 50 children - 0.6*50 = 30 men.
1 child = 120/200.
= 0.6.
Hence, 50 children - 0.6*50 = 30 men.

They are just asking how many people are equal to 50 children.
120:x = 200:50.
x = (120*50)/200 = 30.
120:x = 200:50.
x = (120*50)/200 = 30.

Here; Remaining children are 50 and this is 25% of 200, so 25% of men is 30.

It's simple like this.
If 5 pens cost 25 Rs
1 pen cost?
25/5 = 5.
If 5 pens cost 25 Rs
1 pen cost?
25/5 = 5.

200 : 120 = 3 : 5.
Then remaining 50 child = 50 * 3/5 = 30.
Then remaining 50 child = 50 * 3/5 = 30.
