  1. In a city, 40% of the people are illiterate and 60% are poor. Among the rich, 10% are illiterate. The percentage of the illiterate poor population is
    1. 36
    2. 60
    3. 40
    4. 50
Correct Option: B

Let the population of the city be 100.
Total illiterate people = 40
Poor people = 60
Rich people = 40
Illiterate rich people

=
40 × 10
= 4
100

∴ Illiterate poor people
= 40 – 4 = 36
∴ Required per cent
=
36
× 100 = 60%
60
