1. 1200
2. 1600
3. 1800
4. 1700

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : 1700

Given:

The literate population is 80% 

Total population of the city = 8500

Calculations:

Total literate population = 8500 × 80/100 = 6800

Total illiterate population = 8500 – 6800 = 1700

∴ Total illiterate population is 1700
