Answer: Let's assume the total population of the village is "P."

Given information:

Number of females = 42935

Number of children = 28912

Number of males = Number of females + 12108

We can set up equations based on the given information:

Number of females + Number of males = P

Number of males = Number of females + 12108

Substituting the second equation into the first equation, we get:

Number of females + (Number of females + 12108) = P

Simplifying this equation, we have:

2 * Number of females + 12108 = P

Now we need to find the total population (P). To calculate this, we need to find the value of "Number of females."

Number of females = 42935

Substituting this value into the equation above, we have:

2 * 42935 + 12108 = P

85970 + 12108 = P

98078 = P

Therefore, the total population of the village is 98078.
