Solution:
For the solution, we need to study the problem and need to gather all the data.
In Agra, there are 1500 people.
Equal number of males and females.
So, males and females both are 750 each.
Illiterate population is 1500 – 525 = 975
In Patna total population is 2000
Out of them 950 are literate.
So, literate is 2000 – 950 = 1150
Males in Patna = 950 + 150 = 1100
Females in Patna = 2000 – 1100 = 900
Total of 2500 females live in 32 cities
So, female in Chennai is (2500 – 750 - 900) = 850
Total People = 1850
So, male in Chennai = 1850 – 850 = 1000
Literate: Illiterate = 18: 19
Now, we are organizing this in tabular form,
(1)
Option (b) is correct.
(2)
Difference between males and females in Patna = 1100 – 900 = 200
Option (c) is correct.
(3)
Total illiterate people living in all the 3 cities are (975 + 1050 + 950) = 2975
Total people in 3 cities = (1500 + 2000 +1850) = 5350
Option (d) is correct.
(4)
Total Number of males living in all the cities together = (750 + 1100 + 1000) = 2850
Total number of females living in all the three cities together = (750 + 900 + 850) = 2500
So, difference is (2850 - 2500) = 350
Option (a) is correct.
(5)
Total literate people in all the 3 cities together is (525 + 950 + 900) = 2385
Total female = 2500
40% are illiterate
So, 60% are literate.
So, literate male = 2385 -1500 = 885
Option (b) is correct.
