Step-by-step explanation:
Population of a village = 5000
New population of a village= 5600
Increment in population= 5600-5000
= 600
% Increment = Increment
_________ ×
total population
= 600/5000×100 = 12%
Male = 10%
Female= 15%
Overall= 12%
Taking difference of 15% and 10%
3 : 2
No. of males = 3
___________
No. of females= 2
No. of males = 3K
No. of females= 2K
3K + 2K = 5K = 5000
K = 5000
_____ = 1000
5
No. of males in the village = 3K
=3 X 1000
= 3000
