64080

Answer 2

Answer:

total number of voters in town  =  64080  

option (b) is correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data  

Population of the town  = 1,20,000

males percentage in population = 55%

females percentage in population = 48%

in this 48% of males and 60% of females can vote

here we need to find the total number of voters  

the number of males in total population  = 55% of 1,20,000

                                                                   = $\frac{55}{100} (120000)$

                                                                   =  66,000

the number of females =  120000 - 66000 = 54000

in 66000 males 48% of members can vote

⇒  number of voters in males = $\frac{48}{100} (66000)$ = 31680

in 54000 females 60% of members can vote

⇒  number of voters in female = $\frac{60}{100} (54000)$ = 32400

total number of voters =  male voters + female voters

                                     = 31680 + 32400  = 64080

⇒  option (b) is correct answer
