    C)        47%                 

    D)        56%

    E) 35%

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Let the male population in Town W in 2015 be\[x\]. Then No. of male population in Town W in\[2016=x\times \frac{115}{100}=\frac{23x}{20}\] Now, graduate males in 2015 = Graduate males in 2016 Let \[y%\] males be graduate in 2016. Then,\[x\times \frac{65}{100}=\frac{23x}{20}\times \frac{y}{100}\] \[\therefore \]\[y\approx 56%\]
