The population of a district is 357000, out of which 194000 are males. 47% of the population is literate. If 47% males are literate, then what percentage of females are literate?

Correct option is B

Given:
Total population = 357000
Total males = 194000
Literate population = 47% of total population
Literate males = 47% of total males
Formula Used:
Literate females = Literate population - Literate males
Total females = Total population - Total males
Percentage of literate females = (Literate females ÷ Total females) × 100
Solution:
 Literate population = 47% × 357000 = 167790
Literate males = 47% × 194000 = 91180
Literate females = 167790 - 91180 = 76610
Total females = 357000 - 194000 = 163000
Percentage of literate females =$$\frac{76610}{ 163000}$$​× 100 = 46.98 ≈ 47%
