Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Total population =3,00,000= 3,00,000; Males =1,80,000  ⟹  = 1,80,000 \implies Females =1,20,000= 1,20,000. Total literates =50% of 3,00,000=1,50,000= 50\% \text{ of } 3,00,000 = 1,50,000. Literate males =70% of 1,80,000=1,26,000= 70\% \text{ of } 1,80,000 = 1,26,000. Thus, literate females =1,50,000−1,26,000=24,000= 1,50,000 - 1,26,000 = 24,000, and illiterate females =1,20,000−24,000=96,000= 1,20,000 - 24,000 = 96,000.
