The population of a district is 384000, out of which 192000 are males. 69% of the population is literate. If 53% 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. 85%.
Total population = 384000
Total males = 192000
Total females = 384000 – 192000 = 192000
Total literates = 69% of 384000 = 0.69 × 384000 = 264960
Literate males = 53% of 192000 = 0.53 × 192000 = 101760
Literate females = 264960 – 101760 = 163200
Percentage of literate females = (163200 ÷ 192000) × 100 = 85%
