x=14400/8
x=1800

•illiterate no = 1800×3=5400

•literate no = 1800×5=9000

Answer 2

Solutions :-


Given :

Total population of a village = 14,400
The ratio of illiterate to literate = 3 : 5

Let the illiterate person be 3x
Literate person be 5x

A/q

=> 3x + 5x = 14400
=> 8x = 14400
=> x = 14400/8 = 1800


Hence,
illiterate person = 3x = 3 × 1800 = 5400
Literate person = 5x = 5 × 1800 = 9000
