Passage
Find the correct relationship between the given quantities:
Quantity I: In Town A, 1000 people live, and men & women comprise exactly half the population each. While 70% of the entire population is literate, only 60% men are literate. Q1 = Percent women literates. Quantity II: In Town B, 2000 people live, and men & women comprise exactly half the population each. While 45% of the entire population is literate, only 40% of women are literate. Q2 = Percent men literates.
-
Quantity II > Quantity I
-
Quantity I ≥ Quantity II
-
Quantity I > Quantity II
-
Quantity I ≤ Quantity II
-
Quantity I = Quantity II
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Town A: Total population 1000, half are men and half are women (500 each). 70% of total are literate = 700 people. 60% of men are literate = 300 men. Literate women = 700 - 300 = 400. Percent of literate women = 400/500 = 80%. Town B: Population 2000, half are men and half (1000 each). 45% of total literate = 900 people. 40% of women are literate = 400 women. Literate men = 900 - 400 = 500. Percent of literate men = 500/1000 = 50%. Comparing: 80% > 50%, so Quantity I > Quantity II.
