Q:

In a City, 35% of the population is composed of migrants, 20% of whom are from rural areas. Of the local population, 48% is female while this figure for rural and urban migrants is 30% and 40% respectively. If the total population of the city is 728400, what is its female population ?

A) 324138 B) 349680
C) 509940 D) None of these
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 324138

Explanation:

Total Population = 728400

 

Migrants = 35 % of 728400  =  254940

 

local population = (728400 - 254940) = 473460.

 

Rural migrants = 20% of 254940 = 50988

 

Urban migrants = (254940 - 50988) = 203952

 

Female population = 48% of 473460 + 30% of 50988 + 40% of 203952 = 324138

A) 8 + 15/17 B) 2 + 13/17
C) 3 + 2/17 D) 5 + 13/12
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 8 + 15/17

Total sales tax paid = 7% of Rs, 400 + 9% of Rs. 6400

                            =Rs. (7/100)*400 + (9/100)*6400 = Rs. (28 + 576) = Rs. 604. 

 

Total cost of the items = Rs. (400 + 6400) = Rs. 6800.

 

Required percentage =(604/6800*100) % = 81517%.
