Solution

Ratio of illiterate to literate people in a locality = 1:19

Ratio of literate people to the total number of people in the locality = 19:20

Total population of the locality = 64000

Number of literate people in the locality = × 64000

= 19 × 3200

= 60800

Number of illiterate people in the locality

= Total population of the locality − Number of literate people in the locality

= 64000 − 60800

= 3200
