876040
932170
981550
1161160
Answer: Option
Explanation:

No. of illiterate people in A.P. = [ 7 of (25% of 3276000) ] = 637000.
9

No. of illiterate people in M.P. = [ 4 of (20% of 3276000) ] = 524160.

How 7/9 is 25% and 4/5 is 20% of 3276000?

Abi said:   1 decade ago
The value of illiterate in A.P and the total value of literate and illiterate in A.P must be added (i.e)illiterate = 7/literate+illiterate = 7+2 = 9.

Hence it is 7/9.
