If 85% of the population of an ant colony is red, and of these 45% are females, then what % of the total ant population are male red ants?

A. 46.75

B. 40

C. 33.66

D. 66.66

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Red ant Females = 45%. So
Red and Male = 55%.
Now % of male red ants in total population = (55% of 85%) *100 = 55 * 0.85 = 46.75%.

    Assume total population :- 100
    85% population red ant colony :- 85
    Out of these 45% are female= 85*45/100 = 38.25 female
    Then male red ant :- 85-38.25 =46.75
