Question:

The population of a town is 9600. If males are increased by 8% and females are increased by 5% then population will become 10272 after one year. Find the number of males in the town.

Options:

6000

6400

7500

6800

Correct Answer:

6400

Explanation:

Increase in population = 10272 - 9600 = 672

             % increase = \(\frac{672}{9600}\) × 100 = 7 %

 

                 Male                 Female

                   8 %                  5 %

                              7 %

                        2     :      1

                  3 R  → 9600

        Males  2 R → 6400
