| Area | Male population | Percentage of literate female population | Difference between male and female population |
| 2010 | 2011 | 2010 | 2011 | 2010 | 2011 |
| A | 330 | 380 | 60% | 75% | 60 | 60 |
| B | 200 | 300 | 72% | 66% | 50 | 50 |
| C | 250 | 240 | 50% | 55% | 20 | 60 |
| D | 320 | 230 | 65% | 70% | 120 | 40 |
| E | 280 | 380 | 60% | 63% | 110 | 80 |
| F | 300 | 220 | 70% | 58% | 30 | 80 |
In 2011:
It is given that male population in areas A, C and E are more than female population in respective areas. Then,
Illiterate female population in area A = (100 - 75)% of (380 - 60) = 80
Illiterate female population in area B = (100 - 66)% of (300 + 50) = 119
Illiterate female population in area C = (100 - 55)% of (240 - 60) = 81
Illiterate female population in area D = (100 - 70)% of (230 + 40) = 81
Illiterate female population in area E = (100 - 63)% of (380 - 80) = 111
Illiterate female population in area F = (100 - 58)% of (220 + 80) = 126
Total illiterate female population = 80 + 119 + 81 + 81 + 111 + 126 = 598
55%, 67%, 65%, 50%, 45% and 75% male population are literate in area A, B, C, D, E and F respectively. Then, total illiterate male population
= (100 - 55)% of 380 + (100 - 67)% of 300 + (100 - 65)% of 240 + (100 - 50)% of 230 + (100 - 45)% of 380 + (100 - 75)% of 220
= 733
Therefore, percentage = (598/733) x 100 = 82% (approx.)
