Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Answer Option: 3
Statement (A) alone can be translated as 40% of total population of town A is males. That is still not enough to tell us the total number of population in Town A.
Statement (B) alone can be translated as total population of females in town A is 6000. That is also not enough to tell us the result.
Combining both statements,
From the 1st , 60% of Total population are females which is 6000 from the 2nd statement.
60% of total population= 6000
Total population= 10000
Both statements are necessary to determine the right answer. So, the answer is option 3.
