Question : Study the given table and answer the question that follows.
The table shows data of the population and literacy/illiteracy rate among the population in three different villages.
| Village | Respective ratio between the number of males and females | Percentage of literates (Males and females) out of total population | Number of illiterates (Males and females) out of total population |
| P | 2: 5 | 45 | 380 |
| Q | 3 : 7 | 65 | 270 |
| R | 1 : 3 | 80 | 150 |
The number of illiterates in village R is what percentage less than that in village P?
Option 1: $60 \frac{11}{19} \%$
Option 2: $60 \frac{9}{19} \%$
Option 3: $60 \frac{10}{19} \%$
Option 4: $60 \frac{8}{19} \%$
Correct Answer: $60 \frac{10}{19} \%$
Solution :
Illiterates in village R = 150
Illiterates in village P = 380
Difference = 380 – 150 = 230
Required percentage
= $\frac{\text{Difference between R and P}}{\text{Illiterates in village P}}\times100$
= $\frac{230}{380}\times100$
= $60 \frac{10}{19}\%$
Hence, the correct answer is $60 \frac{10}{19} \%$.
