A survey was conducted every year from 2001-2005 to find the sex ratio and the literacy of a village called Parbhani. The following table shows the findings of the survey:-
In the table, 75% of the male population was literate in 2001 and 80% of the female population was literate.In which year was the total number of literate male less than the total number of literate female?
Solution
The total population in 2001 is 3000 and the male population is 60%.
Thus, the male and the female population is 1800 and 1200 respectively.
75% of the males and 80% of the females are literate.
Thus, the number of male and female literates are 1350 and 960 respectively.
Similarly, the data for other years can also be calculated.
The given table is:-
As we can see for 2002, the total number of the literate female is greater than the total number of the literate male.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.
