The population of a village is 25000. One-fifth are females and the rest are males, 5% of males and 40% of females are uneducated. What percentage on the whole are educated ?
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
B
Number of females :
= 25000 × $$\frac{1}{5}$$
= 5000
Number of males :
= 25000 - 5000
= 20000
Number of educated females :
= 5000 × $$\frac{60}{100}$$
= 3000
Number of educated males
= 20000 × $$\frac{95}{100}$$
= 19000
Total educated population = 22000
Percentage of educated population
= $$\frac{22000}{25000}$$ × 100
= 88%
= 25000 × $$\frac{1}{5}$$
= 5000
Number of males :
= 25000 - 5000
= 20000
Number of educated females :
= 5000 × $$\frac{60}{100}$$
= 3000
Number of educated males
= 20000 × $$\frac{95}{100}$$
= 19000
Total educated population = 22000
Percentage of educated population
= $$\frac{22000}{25000}$$ × 100
= 88%
