• Percentages

5/9 ^th part of the population in a village are males. If 30% of the males are married, the percentage of unmarried females in the total population is

1. 20 ²/₉
2. 27 ²/₉
3. 27 ⁷/₉
4. 29 ²/₉

Answer

Let the population of the village be 90.

Then, total number of males = 5/9 × 90 = 50

Total number of females = 90 - 50 = 40

Married males = 30% of 50 = 15

Married females = 15

Unmarried females = 40 - 15 = 25

Percentage of unmarried females = 25/90 × 100

= 250/9 = 27 ⁷/₉

The correct option is C.
