What will be the percentage of total number of males in U.P., M.P. and Goa together to the total population of all the given states?
A. 25% B. 27.5%
C. 28.5% D. 31.5%
Answer and Explanation
Answer:C
Explanation: Number of males in U.P = [3/5 of(15% of N)] = 3/5 X 5/100 X = 9X N/100 where N = 3276000. Number of males in M.P = [3/4 of(20% of N)] = 3/4 X 20/100 X = 15X N/100 Number of males in Goa = [3/8 of(12% of N)] = 3/8 X 12/100 X = 4.5X N/100 Therefore Total number of males in these three states = (9 + 15 + 4.5) xN/100 =(28.5 X N/100) Therefore Required Percentage = [((28.5 X 8/100)/N) X100]% =28.5%

What was the total number of illiterate people in A.P. and M.P. in 1998?
A. 876040 B. 932170
C. 981550 D. 1161160

5.

If in the year 1998, there was an increase of 10% in the population of U.P. and 12% in the population of M.P. compared to the previous year, then what was the ratio of populations of U.P. and M.P. in 1997?
A. 42 : 55 B. 48 : 55
C. 7 : 11 D. 4 : 5
Answer and Explanation
Answer:A
Explanation: Let x be the population of U.P. in 1997. Then, Population of U.P. in 1998 = 110% of x =(110/100) X x Also, let y be the population of M.P. in 1997. Then, Population of M.P. in 1998 = 112% of y = (112/100) X y Ratio of populations of U.P. and M.P. in 1998 = [(110/100 )X( x)/(112/100) X (y) = 110x/112y From the pie-chart, this ratio is 15/20 Therefore, 110x/112y = 15/20 =x/y x/y= (15/20) X (112/110) = 42/55 Thus, ratio of populations of U.P. and M.P. in 1997 = x : y = 42 : 55.
