Q:

In a City, 35% of the population is composed of migrants, 20% of whom are from rural areas. Of the local population, 48% is female while this figure for rural and urban migrants is 30% and 40% respectively. If the total population of the city is 728400, what is its female population ?

A) 324138 B) 349680
C) 509940 D) None of these
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 324138

Explanation:

Total Population = 728400

 

Migrants = 35 % of 728400  =  254940

 

local population = (728400 - 254940) = 473460.

 

Rural migrants = 20% of 254940 = 50988

 

Urban migrants = (254940 - 50988) = 203952

 

Female population = 48% of 473460 + 30% of 50988 + 40% of 203952 = 324138
