Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: Our required ratio is 1:3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Percentage of population is literate = 68%

Percentage of population is illiterate = 100-68=32%

Ratio of female to male in literate = 6 :11

Ratio of female to male in illiterate = 1 :3

Number of illiterate females is given by

$\dfrac{32}{100}\times \dfrac{1}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{8}{100}$

Number of literate female is given by

$\dfrac{68}{100}\times \dfrac{6}{17}\\\\=\dfrac{24}{100}$

Ratio of illiterate female to literate female is

$\dfrac{8}{100}:\dfrac{24}{100}\\\\=1:3$

Hence, our required ratio is 1:3.
