The adult literacy rate (15+) for male is ________________ against 59.3 of females in 2011
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 78.8.
- In 2011, 78.8% of males aged 15 and above were literate.
- The female rate, on the other hand, was much lower at 59.3%.
- Gender inequality in education is shown by this discrepancy. Both statistics, taken together, show how much more literacy programs are needed, particularly for women.
