• B. $24\%$
• C. $32\%$
• D. $21\%$
• E. $35\%$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $28\%$

Number of persons who manage their business $=\frac{5500\times 18}{100}=990$
$Males=\frac{990\times 90}{100}=891$
$Females=99$
Number of people who serve in organisations $=\frac{5500\times 65}{100}=3575$
$Males=\frac{3575\times 60}{100}=2145$
$Females=1430$
Number of unemployed people $=\frac{5500\times 12}{100}=660$
$Males=\frac{660\times 70}{100}=462$
$Females=198$
$Children=\frac{5500\times 5}{100}=275$
$Males=\frac{275\times 40}{100}=110$
$Females=165$
Required percentage $=\frac{275}{990}\times 100=28\%$
