In a City, 35% of the population is composed of migrants, 20% of whom are from rural areas. Of the local population, 48% is female while this figure for rural and urban migrants is 30% and 40% respectively. If the total population of the city is 728400, what is its female population ?
Correct Answer: Option A
Total Population = 728400
Migrants = 35 % of 728400 = 254940
local population = (728400 - 254940) = 473460.
Rural migrants = 20% of 254940 = 50988
Urban migrants = (254940 - 50988) = 203952
Female population = 48% of 473460 + 30% of 50988 + 40% of 203952 = 324138
