The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will break down the information given and calculate the required values systematically. ### Step 1: Determine the Total Population of the Village Let the total population of the village be \( P \). ### Step 2: Calculate the Number of Males and Females According to the problem: - Two-thirds of the population are male. - One-third of the population are female. So, we can express the number of males and females as: - Number of males = \( \frac{2}{3}P \) - Number of females = \( \frac{1}{3}P \) ### Step 3: Calculate the Number of Literate Males and Females From the problem: - \( 80\% \) of males are literate. - \( 70\% \) of females are literate. Calculating the number of literate males and females: - Literate males = \( 0.8 \times \frac{2}{3}P = \frac{16}{30}P \) - Literate females = \( 0.7 \times \frac{1}{3}P = \frac{7}{30}P \) ### Step 4: Calculate the Number of Graduate Males and Females From the problem: - \( 40\% \) of literate males are graduates. - \( 30\% \) of literate females are graduates. Calculating the number of graduate males and females: - Graduate males = \( 0.4 \times \frac{16}{30}P = \frac{64}{300}P \) - Graduate females = \( 0.3 \times \frac{7}{30}P = \frac{21}{300}P \) ### Step 5: Calculate the Number of Graduate Males and Females with Government Jobs From the problem: - \( 12.5\% \) of graduate males have a government job. - \( 14.2857\% \) (which is \( \frac{14}{7} \) or \( 14 \frac{2}{7}\% \)) of graduate females have a government job. Calculating the number of graduate males and females with government jobs: - Government job males = \( 0.125 \times \frac{64}{300}P = \frac{8}{300}P \) - Government job females = \( \frac{14.2857}{100} \times \frac{21}{300}P = \frac{3}{300}P \) ### Step 6: Calculate the Total Number of People with Government Jobs Total with government jobs = Government job males + Government job females: \[ \text{Total with government jobs} = \frac{8}{300}P + \frac{3}{300}P = \frac{11}{300}P \] ### Step 7: Calculate the Percentage of People with Government Jobs to the Total Population To find the percentage of people who have government jobs: \[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Total with government jobs}}{P} \right) \times 100 = \left( \frac{\frac{11}{300}P}{P} \right) \times 100 = \frac{11}{300} \times 100 = 3.67\% \] ### Final Answer The percentage of people who have government jobs to the total number of people in the village is approximately **3.67%**. ---
