Question

population of a district is 296000 out of which 166000 are males.50% of the population is literate.
If 70%male are literate then the number of women who are literate is
a)32200
b)31800
c)66400
d)48000

Answer 1

Total population=296000
No.of males=166000
No.of females=296000-166000=130000

Given that 50% of population are literate,
Then,
no.of literate people=50/100×296000
=148000

also given that 70% males are literate.
Then,
No.of literate males=70/100×166000
=116200

Now,
No.of literate females=(literate people-literate males)
No.of literate females=148000-116200
No.of literate females=31800

Hence no.of literate females=31800
