A city has a population of 3,00,000 out of which 1,80,000 are males. 50% of the population is literate. If 70% of the males are literate, the number of literate females is :

(A) 20,000 (B) 24,000
(C) 30,000 (D) 34,000

• ans B) 24,000.
  population - 3,00,000,
  males -1,80,000,
  females-1,20,000
  50% of 3,00,000 literate - so 1,50,000 literate
  70% of 1,80,000 literate -so 1,26,000 male literates , so rest s
  1,50,000 - 1,26,000 = 24,000

• Total No. of male=1,80,000
  Total No. of female=1,20,000
  Since 70% of the male are literate,
  so, 1,80,000*70/100=1,26,000
  Total 50% population r literate=1,50,000
  So, total No. of female=1,50,000-1,26,000=24,000
  Ans (b) 24000

• ans is 24,000.
  population =3,00,000,
  males =1,80,000,
  females=1,20,000
  50% of 3,00,000 literate =1,50,000 literate
  70% of 1,80,000 literate =1,26,000 male literates
  1,50,000 - 1,26,000 = 24,000
  
• 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
• answer will be 24,000
  
• 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
• TOTAL NO. OF PEOPLE=3,00,000
  NO. OF MAILS=1,80,000
  NO. FEMAILS=3,00,000-1,80,000=1,20,000
  NO. OF LITERATE=3,00,000*50/100=1,50,000
  NO. OF LITERATE MALES=1,80,000*70/100=1,26,000
  REMANING LITERATE WILL B FEMALE= 1,50,000-1,26,000=24,000 (OPTION B)

• this is very easy question.
  i'm 100% sure this is not an elitmus question
  
  this type of question never comes in it.
• 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(1)
• given 70% of males are literate=
  70% of 1,80,000 is 1,26,000
  no of literates in total population is 1,26,000
  50% of the population is literates=
  50% of 3,00,000 is 1,50,000
  no of literate females is = no of literates in total population- no of male literates
  =1,50,000-1,26,000
  =24,000
• 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
• total =300000
  population is literate 50%
  total population is literate =150000
  total males =180000
  total population is literate male =180000*70%
  =126000
  literate females= 150000-126000=24000
• 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
• B) number of literate male=70%of 180,000 =126,000 and total no of literate persons are 50% of 300,000=1,50,000 => number of literate females =1,50,000-1,26,000=24,000
• 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
• 50% of 300000 - 70% of 180000 =24000
  ans: option b
