Table shows the population of five villages A to E and the percentage of males (M), females (F) and transgenders (T). The three groups add to 100 percent; dashes are to be computed as the remaining share.
| Village | Population | Males (%) | Females (%) | Transgenders (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | 12000 | 46 | — | 22 |
| B | 16000 | — | 33 | 27 |
| C | 18000 | 32 | 36 | — |
| D | 24000 | 36 | — | 20 |

Find the difference between the male population in Village E and the female population in Village D.
A890
B830
C690 ✓ Correct
D610
Correct answer: (C) 690
Explanation
The difference is 690, so the answer is 690.
In Village E the male share is the remaining 45 percent, since 30 and 25 are given.
So males in Village E are 45 percent of 25000, which is 11250.
In Village D the female share is the remaining 44 percent, since 36 and 20 are given.
So females in Village D are 44 percent of 24000, which is 10560.
The difference is 11250 minus 10560.
That equals 690.
