The population of a district is 362000, out of which 181000 are males. 47% of the population is literate. If 35% males are literate, then what percentage of females are literate?
एक जिले की कुल जनसंख्या 3,62,000 है, जिसमें से 1,81,000 पुरुष हैं। 47% जनसंख्या का साक्षर है। यदि 35% पुरुष साक्षर हैं, तो बताइए कितने प्रतिशत महिलाएँ साक्षर हैं?
Detailed Solution & Logic
Correct Answer:
59%
Total population = 362000
Males = 181000 ⇒ Females = $362000 - 181000 = 181000$
Total literate people = $47%$ of 362000
$= \frac{47}{100} \times 362000 = 170140$
Literate males = $35%$ of 181000
$= \frac{35}{100} \times 181000 = 63350$
Literate females = $170140 - 63350 = 106790$
Percentage of literate females:
$= \frac{106790}{181000} \times 100 = 59%$
Final Answer: 59%
