the total population is 2 lakh.
​

Answer 1

Answer:Male = 80,000  ,Female =60,000 and children = 60,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 40% are male and 30% are female and rest are children which is 30%.

Total population =2lakhs

10%of 2lakhs =20 thousand

10% x 4 =20 x 4 =80,000

No.of Male = 80,000

And no of female = 30% = 10% x 3=20 x 3 =60,000

Since also children are 30% which is = 60,000

Answer 2

Percentage of Male = 40%

Percentage of Female = 30%

.°. Percentage of Children = {100 - (30 + 40)} = 30%

Now,

${ \mathbf{ \large{Number \: of \: Children = \frac{20000 \times 30}{100} }}} \\ { \mathbf{ \large{ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: =6000 }}}$
