Answer
1161160
Why?
Given: Total Population = 3,276,000 Assam: 25% of total; Literate:Illiterate ratio = 2:7 Manipur: 20% of total; Literate:Illiterate ratio = 1:4 Formula used: Illiterate Population = State Population × [Illiterate ratio part ÷ Total literacy ratio parts] Calculations: Population of Assam = 0.25 × 3,276,000 = 819,000 ⇒ Illiterate in Assam = 819,000 × (7 ÷ (2+7)) = 819,000 × 7/9 = 91,000 × 7 = 637,000 ⇒ Population of Manipur = 0.20 × 3,276,000 = 655,200 ⇒ Illiterate in Manipur = 655,200 × (4 ÷ (1+4)) = 655,200 × 4/5 = 131,040 × 4 = 524,160 ⇒ Total Illiterate = 637,000 + 524,160 = 1,161,160 ∴ The correct answer is 1,161,160.
