A160
B60 ✓ Correct
C61.538
D120
Correct answer: (B) 60
Explanation

The answer is 60 percent.

The literate females of City D are 16 percent of 25 lakh, which is 4 lakh.

The literate males of City D are 16 percent of 40 lakh, which is 6.4 lakh.

The excess is 6.4 minus 4, which is 2.4 lakh.

As a percent of 4 lakh, this is 2.4 divided by 4, times 100.

That is 60 percent.

So the answer is 60 percent.
