Common Calculation

Total population in city A is 11000

Literate people is 11000 × 8 /11 = 8000

Illiterate people is 11000 × 3 / 11 = 3000

Similarly, we can calculate others values also

City

Illiterate people

A

8000

3000

B

22000

6000

C

27000

9000

D

10000

 

Calculation

Total illiterate people = 3000 (A) + 6000 (B) + 9000 (C) + 10000 (D) = 28000

Average = [28000/ 4] = 7000

Given: 7x = 7000

⇒ x = 1000

Answer: 1000
