Question

In a village 25% of the population is literate. If the total population of the village is 4260, then the number of illiterate people is:
1. 3125
2. 3185
3. 3165
4. 3195

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : 3195

Given that:

Literate people = 25%

Total population = 100% 

Then, illiterate people = (100 - 25) = 75%

Calculations:

Illiterate people = 75% of 4260

= 75/100 ×  4260

= 3/4 ×  4260 = 3195

∴ The number of illiterate people is 3195.
