Correct Answer: $60 \frac{10}{19} \%$


Solution : Illiterates in village R = 150
Illiterates in village P = 380
Difference = 380 – 150 = 230
Required percentage
= $\frac{\text{Difference between R and P}}{\text{Illiterates in village P}}\times100$
= $\frac{230}{380}\times100$
= $60 \frac{10}{19}\%$
Hence, the correct answer is $60 \frac{10}{19} \%$.
