What is the difference between the number of males and females in Village A?
A480
B1920
C1120
D1680 ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) 1680
Explanation
The difference is 1680, so the answer is 1680.
In Village A the male share is 46 percent and the transgender share is 22 percent.
So the female share is the remaining 32 percent.
The difference between males and females is 46 minus 32, which is 14 percent.
This 14 percent is of the total 12000.
So the difference is 14 percent of 12000.
That equals 1680.
