• A. 32.5%
• B. 22.5%
• C. 45%
• D. 13%

Answer 1

The correct option is A 32.5%

Consider the problem

population of the town is $1000$

Number of males

$60\%of1000$

$=600$

And Number of females $=(1000-600)=400$

Number of literates

$25\%of1000$

$=250$

Number of male literates

$20\%of600$

And Number of female literates $=(250-120)=130$

Therefore, Required percentage

$=\left(\frac{130}{400}\times 100\right)$

$=32.5\%$

Hence, Option $A$ is the correct answer.
