Let's take the total people to be 100.
therefore, literate are 56.
4/3 is the male is to female literate ratio out of 56.
therefore literate males are-
4/(4+3)*56=32.
and illiterate people are 100-56=44.
6/5 is the male is to female illiterate ratio out of 44.
therefore illiterate males are-
6/(6+5)*44=24.
total males=24+24=48.
literate males =24.
this implies that 50% of the males are literate.
I hope the method is clear to you.
