Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 52%
Let the total voters are = 100%
⇒ Male voters = 55%
⇒ Female voters = 100% - 55% = 45%
Literate male voters = 55% × 40/100 = 22%
Literate female voters = 45% × = 30%
Hence, total literate voters = 22% + 30% = 52%
