Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{5}{7} \: are \: mens \: in \: village$

$\frac{7}{8} are \: literate \: mens \: in \: villge$

$now \: we \: will \: take \: lcm$

$lcm = 56$

$\frac{5 \times 8 = }{7 \times 8 = } \frac{40}{56}$

$\frac{7 \times 7 = }{8 \times 7 = } \frac{49}{56}$

$\frac{40 - 49}{56}$

$\frac{9}{56} = \frac{3}{8}$
