The population of a district is 333000, out of which 213000 are males. 71% of the population is literate. If 71% 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. 71%.
Total population = 333000
Males = 213000, Females = 120000
Total literates = 71% of 333000 = 236430
Literate males = 71% of 213000 = 151230
Literate females = 236430 – 151230 = 85200
% females literate = × 100 = 71%
