• B. 32%
• C. 13%
• D. 28%

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 32%

The population of village is 2500. The number of males in the village = 60/100 × 2500 = 1500 The number of females in the village = 2500 - 1500 = 1000 The percentage of literate males is 45%. The number of literate males = 45/100 × 1500 = 675 Total literate in the village = 35/100 × 2500 = 875 The number of literate female = 875 - 675 = 200 The number of illiterate female = 1000 - 200 = 800 The percentage of illiterate female in the village = 800/2500 × 100 = 32%
