Study the following table and answer the question given below.
Total population of the given States = .

What will be the percentage of the total number of males in States A, B and D together, to the total population of all the given states?
- A
- B
- C
- D
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let the total population of all states combined be . We need to find the share of males from States A, B, and D as a percentage of .
Instead of calculating absolute numbers from , we can work directly with the population percentages of each state.
1. State A:
* Population share =
* Male to Female ratio = Male fraction =
* Male percentage from A =
2. State B:
* Population share =
* Male to Female ratio = Male fraction =
* Male percentage from B =
3. State D:
* Population share =
* Male to Female ratio = Male fraction =
* Male percentage from D =
Total Male Percentage from A, B, and D combined:
Rounding to the closest provided option, it matches .
