Correct Answer: 32.5 %

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 %.
