Question 112
The population of a village is 8000. Out of these, 80% are literate and of these literate people, 40% are women. Find the ratio of the number of literate women to the total population.
We have, total population = 8000
Literate people = 80% of total population = 80100×80000=6400
Literate women = 40% of literate people = 40100×6400=2560
Ratio of literate women to total population = 2560 : 8000 = 25608000:8000320=8:25
Hence, the ratio of women to total population is 8: 25.
