Question

A locality has a total population of 5,000 persons, out of which 2,000 are workers. Its worker-population ratio is:

Options

• \[ 40 \]

• \[ 25 \]

• \[ 38.9 \]

• \[ 45.6 \]

Answer 1

Using the formula (Total Workers ÷ Total Population) × 100 = (2,000 ÷ 5,000) × 100 = 40. This means 40 out of every 100 persons in the locality are actively contributing to the production of goods and services.
