Correct Answer: 6,44,000
Solution : Let the total number of population be $x$. The number of literate individuals is given as 92% of $x$ = $\frac{92x}{100}$ It is given that the ratio of literate males to that of females is equal to $9:7$ According to the question, The total number of literate females in city 5 is equal to 259210. So, $\frac{92x}{100} \times \frac{7}{(7 + 9)} = 259210$ ⇒ $x = \frac{(259210 × 16 × 100)}{(92 × 7)}$ ⇒ $x= 6,44,000$ Hence, the correct answer is 6,44,000.
