Correct Answer; D
Solution:
- (d) Female population; Village R $\Rightarrow $ $\frac{48000 \times 40}{100} $ = 19200 Village S $\Rightarrow $ $\frac{28800 \times 42}{100} $ = 12096 $\Rightarrow $ $\frac{60000 \times 48}{100} $ = 28800 $\therefore $ Their total population = (19200 + 12096 + 28800) = 60096
