The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will break down the calculations based on the information provided. ### Step 1: Determine the Total Population Let's assume the total population of the village is 300. ### Step 2: Calculate the Number of Men and Women - Men: \(\frac{2}{3}\) of the total population \[ \text{Number of Men} = \frac{2}{3} \times 300 = 200 \] - Women: The rest of the population \[ \text{Number of Women} = 300 - 200 = 100 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Number of Literate Men and Women - Literate Men: \(80\%\) of the number of men \[ \text{Literate Men} = 80\% \times 200 = 0.8 \times 200 = 160 \] - Literate Women: \(70\%\) of the number of women \[ \text{Literate Women} = 70\% \times 100 = 0.7 \times 100 = 70 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Number of Graduate Men and Women - Graduate Men: \(40\%\) of literate men \[ \text{Graduate Men} = 40\% \times 160 = 0.4 \times 160 = 64 \] - Graduate Women: \(30\%\) of literate women \[ \text{Graduate Women} = 30\% \times 70 = 0.3 \times 70 = 21 \] ### Step 5: Calculate the Number of Men and Women with Government Jobs - Government Jobs for Men: \(20\%\) of graduate men \[ \text{Men with Government Jobs} = 20\% \times 64 = 0.2 \times 64 = 12.8 \] - Government Jobs for Women: \(25\%\) of graduate women \[ \text{Women with Government Jobs} = 25\% \times 21 = 0.25 \times 21 = 5.25 \] ### Step 6: Calculate the Total Working Population \[ \text{Total Working Population} = \text{Men with Government Jobs} + \text{Women with Government Jobs} \] \[ \text{Total Working Population} = 12.8 + 5.25 = 18.05 \] ### Step 7: Calculate the Percentage of Working Population \[ \text{Percentage of Working Population} = \left(\frac{\text{Total Working Population}}{\text{Total Population}}\right) \times 100 \] \[ \text{Percentage of Working Population} = \left(\frac{18.05}{300}\right) \times 100 \approx 6.01\% \] ### Final Answer The working population of the village is approximately \(6.01\%\) of the total population. ---
