Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Total illiterate female = 168 = 40% of female (Given)
Hence, total female = 168 / 0.4 = 420
420 female form 35% of the population.
Hence, total population = 420 / 0.35 = 1200
Total Male population = 1200 - 420 = 780
Number of illiterate males = 35% = 780 * 0.35 = 273
