Common Calculation

Total population in city A is 11000

Literate people is 11000 × 8 /11 = 8000

Illiterate people is 11000 × 3 / 11 = 3000

Similarly, we can calculate others values also

Calculation

Literate in City A = 8000

Graduates = 75% of 8000 = 0.75 × 8000=6000

PhD holders = 20% of 6000 = 0.20×6000=1200
