As per the data above, the number of men in 2003 is what percentage more or what percentage less than the number of women in the same year?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Number of men in 2003 = \(\frac{9 }{17}\) × 136 = 72
Number of women in 2003 = \(\frac{8 }{17}\) × 136 = 64
Number of men in 2003 is more than number of women in 2003 by 72 - 64 = 8
Required percentage = \(\frac{72-64 }{64}\) × 100
= \(\frac{1 }{8}\) × 100
= 12.5%
Ans :- 12.5% more
