Correct Answer: 88%


Solution : Total population = 25,000
Females = 25000 × $\frac{1}{5}$ = 5,000
Males = 25000 – 5000 = 20,000
Uneducated People = 20,000 × $\frac{5}{100}$ + 5000 × $\frac{40}{100}$
= 1000 + 2000
= 3000
Educated People = 25000 – 3000 = 22,000
Required Percentage = $\frac{22000}{25000}$ x 100
= 88%
Hence, the correct answer is 88%.
