View Answer

Correct choice: A

Explanation:

Number of males = 60% of 1000 = 600. Number of females = (1000 - 600) = 400. Number of literates = 25% of 1000 = 250. Number of literate males = 20% of 600 = 120. Number of literate females = (250 - 120) = 130. Required pecentage = (130/400 * 100 ) % = 32.5 %.
