The table shows the city-wise break-up of population in terms of males, females and transgenders of five cities A to E. Some values are percentages and some are numbers. For A the males are 45 percent, the females are 30 percent and the transgenders are 2000. For B the males are 50 percent, the females are 3000 and the transgenders are 35 percent. For C the males are 8000, the females are 35 percent and the transgenders are 15 percent. For D the males are 45 percent, the females are 3600 and the transgenders are 25 percent. For E the males are 38 percent, the females are 32 percent and the transgenders are 4200. Based on the data, answer the questions.
The male population of City E is how much more than the female population of City A?
A2900
B2840
C2980
D2920 ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) 2920 — The answer is 2920.
Explanation
★The answer is 2920.
★In City A the transgenders are 100 minus 45 plus 30, which is 25 percent, and this equals 2000, so the total is 8000.
★So the females in A are 30 percent of 8000, which is 2400.
★In City E the transgenders are 100 minus 38 plus 32, which is 30 percent, and this equals 4200, so the total is 14000.
★So the males in E are 38 percent of 14000, which is 5320.
★The difference is 5320 minus 2400, which is 2920.
★So the answer is 2920.
