The population of a town is 4,15,000. The ratio between women and men is 43 : 40. If there are 24% literate among men and 8% literate among women, the total number of literate persons in the town is?

65200

W : M = 43 : 40 = 83 (Total)

⇒ 83R = 415000

⇒ 1R = 5000

Now,

Literate women = 43 × 5000 × 8% = 43 × 400 = 17200

Literate men = 40 × 5000 × 24% = 40 × 1200 = 48000

Total literate person = 17200 + 48000 = 65200
