Of the 1000 inhabitants of a town, 60 % are males of whom 20 % are literate. If, of all the inhabitants, 25% are literate, then what percent of the females of the town are literate ?
Explanation:
Number of males = 60% of 1000 = 600. Number of females = (1000 - 600) = 400.
Number of literates = 25% of 1000 = 250.
Number of literate males = 20% of 600 = 120.
Number of literate females = (250 - 120) = 130.
Required pecentage = (130/400 * 100 ) % = 32.5 %.
Hence, option 1 is the correct asnwer.
