The population of a district is 357000, out of which 194000 are males. 47% of the population is literate. If 47% 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. 47% .
Total population = 357000
Males = 194000
Females = 357000 - 194000 = 163000
Total literates = 47% of 357000 = 167790
Male literates = 47% of 194000 = 91180
Female literates = 167790 - 91180 = 76610
Percentage of females literate = (76610 ÷ 163000) × 100 = 47%
