 If the literate male population of state A is 5,00,000, what is the total population of the state?

Accepted Answer

Let the total population of State A be P.

Given:
- Percentage of literate people = 55%
- Ratio of literate males to literate females = 5:6
- Literate male population = 5,00,000

Step 1: Find the total number of literate people.
Total literate people = 55% of P = 0.55P

Step 2: Let the number of literate males = 5x and literate females = 6x (since the ratio is 5:6).
So, 5x + 6x = 0.55P
=> 11x = 0.55P
=> x = 0.05P

Step 3: Literate male population = 5x = 5,00,000
So, 5x = 5,00,000
=> x = 1,00,000

Step 4: Substitute the value of x into x = 0.05P:
1,00,000 = 0.05P
=> P = 1,00,000 / 0.05
=> P = 20,00,000

Therefore, the total population of State A is 20,00,000.
