We Have to find literate percent. For men it was given illiterate percent so we are subtracting from 100, but in case of children literate percents given so no need 2 subtract.

Why you are subtracting 40% from 100 but not 85%.
Will you clear it?

Men illiterate 40% = 60% literate
Children= 85% literate
2:3 ratio
2*100:3*100
200:300 ==200+300=500
60% of 200: 85% of 300
120:255= 120+255=375
Now 375/500==75%
Children= 85% literate
2:3 ratio
2*100:3*100
200:300 ==200+300=500
60% of 200: 85% of 300
120:255= 120+255=375
Now 375/500==75%
