The population of a district is 327000, out of which 224000 are males. 65% of the population is literate. If 65% males are literate, then what percentage of females are literate?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 65%.
Population = 327000, males = 224000, so females = 103000
Total literates = 65% of 327000 = 212550
Male literates = 65% of 224000 = 145600
Female literates = 212550 - 145600 = 66950
% female literates = 66950 / 103000 × 100
= 65%
