The population of a district is 369000, out of which 186000 are males. 45% of the population is literate. If 45% males are literate, then what percentage of females are literate?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 45%.
Total population = 369000
Males = 186000 → Females = 369000 − 186000 = 183000
Total literates = 45% of 369000 = 166050
Literate males = 45% of 186000 = 83700
Literate females = 166050 − 83700 = 82350
% of females literate = (82350 ÷ 183000) × 100 = 45%
