Question : The population of the village is 25,000. One-fifth are females and the rest are males. 5% of males and 40% of females are uneducated. What percentage, on the whole, are educated?
Option 1: 75%
Option 2: 88%
Option 3: 55%
Option 4: 85%
Correct Answer: 88%
Solution :
Total population = 25,000
Females = 25000 × $\frac{1}{5}$ = 5,000
Males = 25000 – 5000 = 20,000
Uneducated People = 20,000 × $\frac{5}{100}$ + 5000 × $\frac{40}{100}$
= 1000 + 2000
= 3000
Educated People = 25000 – 3000 = 22,000
Required Percentage = $\frac{22000}{25000}$ x 100
= 88%
Hence, the correct answer is 88%.
