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 s 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

• (B)24,000
  
  Total=3,00,000
  Male=1,80,000
  So,
  Female=1,20,000
  
  50% population is literate i.e. 1,50,000 is literate people..
  
  70%male are literate
  i.e. 1,80,000*70/100 = 1,26,000
  So,literate male are 1,26,000
  
  Total literate=male literate+female literate
  1,50,000=1,26,000+female literate
  
  so, literate female=24,000

• 24000, 180000*70/100=126000.
  150000-126000=24000.

• Total population = 300000
  Total number of males = 180000
  Total Literates = 50% of total population = 150000
  Number of literate males = 70% of males = 126000
  ∴ Number of literate females = 150000 - 126000 = 24000
