विकल्प

• 48,000

• 66,400

• 32,000

• 31,800

Answer 1

31,800
Explanation :
Total literate population = 50% of 2,96,000

                                      = `50/100xx`296000

                                      = 1,48,000
Number of literate males = 70% of 1,66,000

                                        = `70/100xx`166000

                                        = 1,16,200

∴ Number of literate women = 148000 - 116200

                                             = 31,800
