Directions: Read the passage carefully and answer the question accordingly. In Village A, there are 40% females. The number of males in Village B is double the number of males in Village A. The number of males and females in Village B is equal. If the number of male graduates in Village B is 1200 and the number of male graduates in Village A is equal to the number of male graduates in Village B, and the difference between the total number of males and females in Village A is 500, then find the total number of females in both villages.
- 4500
- 1800
- 3500
- 4000
Correct answer: 4000
Solution
In Village B, males = females, and male graduates are 1200, so the male count is taken as 1200 and hence females in B are also 1200. In Village A, females are 40% and the difference between males and females is 500, so total population of A becomes 2500, giving females = 1000. Therefore, total females in both villages = 1000 + 3000? Actually using the given relation, Village B has 3000 females and Village A has 1000 females, so the total is 4000.
