Answer 1

The correct option is E 109200

Literate population of Washington $=\frac{7}{10}\times \frac{25}{100}\times 3276000=573300$
Male literates in Washington $=\frac{5}{8}\times \frac{2}{3}\times \frac{25}{100}\times 3276000=341250$
Female literates in Washington = 573300-341250 = 232050 Reqd. difference = 341250-232050 = 109200
