46

Why?

Total no. of student = 8000 people We can see in the figure- Total no. of student of Assam = 18 % of the total student = (18/100) × 8000 = 1440 student Total no. of female student = 3500 female Female student from Assam = 13 % of the total female student = (13/100) × 3500 = 455 female ∴ No. of male student in Assam = Total Students from Assam - Female students from Assam = 1440 – 455 = 985 student Let the number of female students from Assam are approximately x % of the male students from the same state. ∴ (x/100) × 985 = 455 ⇒ x = 45500/985 ≈ 46%
