The population of a district is 373000, out of which 227000 are males. 69% of the population is literate. If 69% males are literate, then what percentage of females are literate?

Correct option is B

Given:

Total population = 373000

Males = 227000

Females = 373000 - 227000 = 146000

Overall literate = 69%

Literate males = 69% of males

Formula Used:

Literate = $$\text{Percentage} \times \text{Population}$$​​

Female literacy % = $$\dfrac{\text{Literate females}}{\text{Total females}} \times 100$$​​

Solution:

Total literates = 69%$$\times 37300$$​0 = 257370

Literate males = 69%$$\times$$​ 227000 = 156630

Literate females = 257370 - 156630 = 100740

Female literacy % $$= \frac{100740}{146000}\times 100 =$$​ 69%
