Paragraph given below gives information of literate and illiterate population out of total population of three cities i.e.A, B and C. Read the paragraph carefully and answer the following questions.
Total population of city A and B are 22000 and 16000 respectively. Total literate population of city B is 6000 which is 6.25% of total population of city C. Ratio of literate to illiterate population in city A and C is 5:6 and 2:1 respectively. 40% of literate population in each city is graduate.
If ratio of male to female in graduate population from each city is 9:7, find difference between graduate male from city C to literate but ungraduated from city B?

A

7200

B

14400

C

10800

D

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will break down the information provided and calculate the required values. ### Step 1: Determine the total population of city C From the problem, we know that the total literate population of city B is 6000, which is 6.25% of the total population of city C. Let the total population of city C be \( x \). According to the problem: \[ 6000 = 6.25\% \text{ of } x \] Converting 6.25% to a decimal: \[ 6.25\% = \frac{6.25}{100} = 0.0625 \] So, we have: \[ 6000 = 0.0625x \] To find \( x \): \[ x = \frac{6000}{0.0625} = 96000 \] Thus, the total population of city C is **96,000**. ### Step 2: Calculate the literate and illiterate populations in cities A and C - **City A**: The ratio of literate to illiterate population is 5:6. Let the literate population be \( 5k \) and the illiterate population be \( 6k \). Total population of city A = 22,000. \[ 5k + 6k = 22000 \implies 11k = 22000 \implies k = 2000 \] Thus, the literate population in city A is: \[ 5k = 5 \times 2000 = 10000 \] And the illiterate population is: \[ 6k = 6 \times 2000 = 12000 \] - **City C**: The ratio of literate to illiterate population is 2:1. Let the literate population be \( 2m \) and the illiterate population be \( m \). Total population of city C = 96,000. \[ 2m + m = 96000 \implies 3m = 96000 \implies m = 32000 \] Thus, the literate population in city C is: \[ 2m = 2 \times 32000 = 64000 \] And the illiterate population is: \[ m = 32000 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the graduate population in each city 40% of the literate population in each city is graduate. - **City A**: \[ \text{Graduate population} = 40\% \text{ of } 10000 = 0.4 \times 10000 = 4000 \] - **City B**: \[ \text{Graduate population} = 40\% \text{ of } 6000 = 0.4 \times 6000 = 2400 \] - **City C**: \[ \text{Graduate population} = 40\% \text{ of } 64000 = 0.4 \times 64000 = 25600 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the number of graduate males in city C The ratio of male to female in the graduate population is 9:7. Total graduate population in city C = 25600. Total parts = 9 + 7 = 16. Thus, the number of graduate males in city C: \[ \text{Graduate males in C} = \frac{9}{16} \times 25600 = 14400 \] ### Step 5: Calculate the number of literate but ungraduated individuals in city B Total literate population in city B = 6000. Graduate population in city B = 2400. Literate but ungraduated individuals in city B: \[ \text{Literate but ungraduated} = 6000 - 2400 = 3600 \] ### Step 6: Calculate the difference between graduate males from city C and literate but ungraduated from city B \[ \text{Difference} = \text{Graduate males in C} - \text{Literate but ungraduated in B} \] \[ \text{Difference} = 14400 - 3600 = 10800 \] ### Final Answer The difference between graduate males from city C and literate but ungraduated from city B is **10,800**. ---
