    Given that , % of men = 54 and % of women = 32
    Number of children = 196
    Percentage of children = (100 – 54 – 32)%
    Percentage of children = 14%
    According to the question,
    &ecause; 14% = 196

    Correct Option: A

    Given that , % of men = 54 and % of women = 32
    Number of children = 196
    Percentage of children = (100 – 54 – 32)%
    Percentage of children = 14%
    According to the question,
    &ecause; 14% = 196

    ∴ 1% =
