The table shows the percentage distribution of the population (only male and female) according to Gender and Literacy.

State	Percentage literate	Gender
		Literate	Illiterate
		M : F	M : F
A	55	5 : 6	4 : 5
B	72	1 : 1	3 : 2
C	78	4 : 3	3 : 2

If the literate male population of state A the state is: is 5,00,000, then the total population of the state is:

Correct option is D

Given:

Percentage of literate population in State A = 55%

Ratio of literate males to females (M:F) =5:6

Literate male population = 5,00,000

Formula Used:

Total Literate Population = $$\text{Literate Male Population} \times \frac{\text{Total Ratio}}{\text{Male Ratio}}$$​

Total Population = $$\frac{\text{Total Literate Population} \times 100}{\text{Percentage Literate}}$$​

Solution:

Male : Female = 5:6

5 + 6 = 11

Total Literate Population = 5,00,000$$\times \frac{11}{5}$$​​

=1,00,000×11

=11,00,000

Total Population = $$\frac{11,00,000 \times 100}{55}$$​​

= $$\frac{11,00,00,000}{55}$$​​

= 20,00,000
