In a group of 60 students, 65% mentioned their gender as 'Male' and 30% mentioned their gender as 'Female'. How many students have NOT mentioned their gender? Correct Answer 3

Given:

Total number of students = 60

Number of male = 65%

Number of female = 30%

According to the question

Number of males = (60 × 65/100)

⇒ 39

Number of females = (60 × 30/100)

⇒ 18

Number of genders who have not mentioned their gender =

⇒ (60 – 57)

⇒ 3

∴ Required students who have not mentioned their gender is 3
