59%

51%

49%

- Population Breakdown: 60% are males, and 40% are females in the city.

- Males Breakdown: Married to non-married males ratio is 5:7. This implies \(\frac{5}{12}\) of males are married.

- Females Breakdown: Married to non-married females ratio is 2:3. This implies \(\frac{2}{5}\) of females are married.

Calculation:

- Part of total population married males = \(60\% \times \frac{5}{12} = 25\%\)

- Part of total population married females = \(40\% \times \frac{2}{5} = 16\%\)

- Total married population = \(25 + 16 = 41\%\)

Correct Answer: Option 1: 41%
