Ratio and Proportion Practice Test 5

Total population of the town = 3,11,250
Ratio between women and men = 43 : 40
Total number of women = 43 of 3,11,250
$\frac{43}{83}\times 3,11,250$ = 1,61,250 83 women
Total number of men = 40 of 3,11,250
$\frac{40}{83}\times 3,11,250$ = 1,50,000 83 men
24% of literate among men $=\frac{24\times 1,50,000}{100}$ = 36,000 men
8% of literate among women $=\frac{8\times 1,61,250}{100}$ = 12,900 women
Total number of literate persons = 36,000 + 12,900 = 48,900
