Correct Answer - Option 1 : 40%
Given:
Percentage of married men = 25%
Percentage of married women = 35%
Concept Used:
When one male marries only one female and vice-versa, then the number of married males is equal to the number of married females.
Formula Used:
Assuming x > y
Percentage of x more than y = [(x – y)/y] × 100
Calculations:
Let the total population of men and women be x and y respectively.
Percentage of married men = 25%
Percentage of married women = 35%
⇒ 25% of x = 35% of y
⇒ x : y = 7 : 5
Percentage of men more than women = [(7 – 5)/5] × 100
⇒ Percentage of men more than women = 40%
∴ The percentage of the population of men more than the population of women is 40%.
