The population of a district is 340000, out of which 217000 are males. 11% of the population is literate. If 11% males are literate, then what percentage of females are literate?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 11%.
Total population = 340000
Males = 217000
Females = 340000 − 217000 = 123000
Total literates = 11% of 340000 = 37400
Literate males = 11% of 217000 = 23870
Literate females = 37400 − 23870 = 13530
Percentage of literate females = (13530 ÷ 123000) × 100 = 11%
