If in village E, 40% of male literates and 40% of female literates were graduates, what percent of the total population were graduates?

Question

Accepted Answer

Since 40% of male literates and 40% of female literates are graduates, the overall fraction of literates who are graduates is 40%.

The table gives total literates in village E as 70% of the population. Therefore the percentage of the total population who are graduates is:

$40\%	imes70\%=0.4	imes70\%=28\%.$

Hence the correct choice is option (2) 28%.
