Since, number of literate females in village ‘C’ is 105% of total number of employed people in village ‘D’ and
62.5% of total population of village ‘C’ is illiterate.
So, number of literate females in village ‘C’ = 1.05 × 480 = 504
Total number of literate people in village ‘C’ = 504 + 360 = 864
Total population of village ‘C’ = \(\frac{864}{0.375}\) = 2304
Total population of all the five villages together = (\(\frac{2304}{103.68}\)) × 360 = 8000
Total population of village ‘A’ = (\(\frac{77.76}{360}\)) × 8000 = 1728
Total population of village ‘B’ = (\(\frac{69.12}{360}\)) × 8000 = 1536
Total population of village ‘D’ = (\(\frac{56.16}{360}\)) × 8000 = 1248
Total population of village ‘E’ = (\(\frac{53.28}{360}\)) × 8000 = 1184
Since, Number of males in village ‘C’ is 26% more than number of un-employed people in village ‘E’.
So, number of un-employed people in village ‘E’ = 1184 – 384 = 800
So, number of males in village ‘C’ = 1.26 × 800 = 1008
Number of females in village ‘C’ = 2304 – 1008 = 1296
Number of illiterate males in village ‘C’ = 1008 – 360 = 648
Number of illiterate females in village ‘C’ = 1296 – 504 = 792
Since, number of females in village ‘A’ is same as number of males in village ‘C’.
So, number of females in village ‘A’ = 1008
Number of males in village ‘A’ = 1728 – 1008 = 720
Number of illiterate males in village ‘A’ = 720 – 512 = 208
Since, in village ‘B’ number of males are 50% while number of males in village ‘E’ is 160 more than number of
females which is 32 less than number of illiterate people in village ‘A’.
So, number of males in village ‘B’ = number of females in village ‘B’ = 0.50 × 1536 = 768
And, number of males in village ‘E’ = (\(\frac{1(184 + 160)}{2}\)} = 672
Number of females in village ‘E’ = 1184 – 672 = 512
Number of illiterate people in village ‘A’ = 512 + 32 = 544
So, number of illiterate females in village ‘A’ = 544 – 208 = 336
And, number of literate females in village ‘A’ = 1008 – 336 = 672
Since, number of females in village ‘C’ is twice the number of illiterate people in village ‘B’.
So, number of illiterate people in village ‘B’ = 1296/2 = 648
Number of illiterate males in village ‘B’ = 768 – 408 = 360
Number of illiterate females in village ‘B’ = 648 – 360 = 288
Number of literate females in village ‘B’ = 768 – 288 = 480
Since, number of males in village ‘A’ is same as the number of females in village ‘D’ which is 160 more than
number of illiterate people in village ‘E’.
So, number of females in village ‘D’ = 720
Number of males in village ‘D’ = 1248 – 720 = 528
Number of illiterate males in village ‘D’ = 528 – 288 = 240
Since, number of illiterate people in village ‘D’ is 65% of number of un-employed people in village ‘B’.
So, number of illiterate people in village ‘D’ = 0.65 × (1536 – 576) = 0.65 × 960 = 624
Number of illiterate females in village ‘D’ = 624 – 240 = 384
Number of literate females in village ‘D’ = 720 – 384 = 336
Since, number of females in village ‘D’ is 160 more than number of illiterate people in village ‘E’.
Number of illiterate people in village ‘E’ = 720 – 160 = 560
Number of illiterate females in village ‘E’ = 512 – 312 = 200
Number of literate females in village ‘E’ = 512 – 200 = 312

Since, number of literate females in village ‘C’ is 105% of total number of employed people in village ‘D’ and
62.5% of total population of village ‘C’ is illiterate.
So, number of literate females in village ‘C’ = 1.05 × 480 = 504
Total number of literate people in village ‘C’ = 504 + 360 = 864
Total population of village ‘C’ = \(\frac{864}{0.375}\) = 2304
Total population of all the five villages together = (\(\frac{2304}{103.68}\)) × 360 = 8000
Total population of village ‘A’ = (\(\frac{77.76}{360}\)) × 8000 = 1728

Total population of village ‘D’ = (\(\frac{56.16}{360}\)) × 8000 = 1248
Total population of village ‘E’ = (\(\frac{53.28}{360}\)) × 8000 = 1184
Since, Number of males in village ‘C’ is 26% more than number of un-employed people in village ‘E’.
So, number of un-employed people in village ‘E’ = 1184 – 384 = 800
So, number of males in village ‘C’ = 1.26 × 800 = 1008
Number of females in village ‘C’ = 2304 – 1008 = 1296
Number of illiterate males in village ‘C’ = 1008 – 360 = 648
Number of illiterate females in village ‘C’ = 1296 – 504 = 792
Since, number of females in village ‘A’ is same as number of males in village ‘C’.
So, number of females in village ‘A’ = 1008
Number of males in village ‘A’ = 1728 – 1008 = 720
Number of illiterate males in village ‘A’ = 720 – 512 = 208
Since, in village ‘B’ number of males are 50% while number of males in village ‘E’ is 160 more than number of
females which is 32 less than number of illiterate people in village ‘A’.
So, number of males in village ‘B’ = number of females in village ‘B’ = 0.50 × 1536 = 768
And, number of males in village ‘E’ = (\(\frac{(1184 + 160)}{2}\)} = 672
Number of females in village ‘E’ = 1184 – 672 = 512
Number of illiterate people in village ‘A’ = 512 + 32 = 544
So, number of illiterate females in village ‘A’ = 544 – 208 = 336
And, number of literate females in village ‘A’ = 1008 – 336 = 672
Since, number of females in village ‘C’ is twice the number of illiterate people in village ‘B’.
So, number of illiterate people in village ‘B’ = 1296/2 = 648
Number of illiterate males in village ‘B’ = 768 – 408 = 360
Number of illiterate females in village ‘B’ = 648 – 360 = 288
Number of literate females in village ‘B’ = 768 – 288 = 480
Since, number of males in village ‘A’ is same as the number of females in village ‘D’ which is 160 more than
number of illiterate people in village ‘E’.
So, number of females in village ‘D’ = 720
Number of males in village ‘D’ = 1248 – 720 = 528
Number of illiterate males in village ‘D’ = 528 – 288 = 240
Since, number of illiterate people in village ‘D’ is 65% of number of un-employed people in village ‘B’.
So, number of illiterate people in village ‘D’ = 0.65 × (1536 – 576) = 0.65 × 960 = 624
Number of illiterate females in village ‘D’ = 624 – 240 = 384
Number of literate females in village ‘D’ = 720 – 384 = 336
Since, number of females in village ‘D’ is 160 more than number of illiterate people in village ‘E’.

Since, Number of males in village ‘C’ is 26% more than number of un-employed people in village ‘E’.
So, number of un-employed people in village ‘E’ = 1184 – 384 = 800
So, number of males in village ‘C’ = 1.26 × 800 = 1008
Number of females in village ‘C’ = 2304 – 1008 = 1296
Number of illiterate males in village ‘C’ = 1008 – 360 = 648

So, number of illiterate females in village ‘A’ = 544 – 208 = 336
And, number of literate females in village ‘A’ = 1008 – 336 = 672
Since, number of females in village ‘C’ is twice the number of illiterate people in village ‘B’.
So, number of illiterate people in village ‘B’ = 1296/2 = 648
Number of illiterate males in village ‘B’ = 768 – 408 = 360
Number of illiterate females in village ‘B’ = 648 – 360 = 288
Number of literate females in village ‘B’ = 768 – 288 = 480
Since, number of males in village ‘A’ is same as the number of females in village ‘D’ which is 160 more than
number of illiterate people in village ‘E’.
So, number of females in village ‘D’ = 720
Number of males in village ‘D’ = 1248 – 720 = 528
Number of illiterate males in village ‘D’ = 528 – 288 = 240

Since, Number of males in village ‘C’ is 26% more than number of un-employed people in village ‘E’.
So, number of un-employed people in village ‘E’ = 1184 – 384 = 800
So, number of males in village ‘C’ = 1.26 × 800 = 1008
Number of females in village ‘C’ = 2304 – 1008 = 1296
Number of illiterate males in village ‘C’ = 1008 – 360 = 648
Number of illiterate females in village ‘C’ = 1296 – 504 = 792

E312384

Since, number of literate females in village ‘C’ is 105% of total number of employed people in village ‘D’ and
62.5% of total population of village ‘C’ is illiterate.
So, number of literate females in village ‘C’ = 1.05 × 480 = 504
Total number of literate people in village ‘C’ = 504 + 360 = 864
Total population of village ‘C’ = \(\frac{864}{0.375}\) = 2304
Total population of all the five villages together = (\(\frac{2304}{103.68}\)) × 360 = 8000
Total population of village ‘A’ = (\(\frac{77.76}{360}\)) × 8000 = 1728
Total population of village ‘B’ = (\(\frac{69.12}{360}\)) × 8000 = 1536
Total population of village ‘D’ = (\(\frac{56.16}{360}\)) × 8000 = 1248
Total population of village ‘E’ = (\(\frac{53.28}{360}\)) × 8000 = 1184
Since, Number of males in village ‘C’ is 26% more than number of un-employed people in village ‘E’.
So, number of un-employed people in village ‘E’ = 1184 – 384 = 800
So, number of males in village ‘C’ = 1.26 × 800 = 1008
Number of females in village ‘C’ = 2304 – 1008 = 1296
Number of illiterate males in village ‘C’ = 1008 – 360 = 648
Number of illiterate females in village ‘C’ = 1296 – 504 = 792
Since, number of females in village ‘A’ is same as number of males in village ‘C’.
So, number of females in village ‘A’ = 1008
Number of males in village ‘A’ = 1728 – 1008 = 720
Number of illiterate males in village ‘A’ = 720 – 512 = 208
Since, in village ‘B’ number of males are 50% while number of males in village ‘E’ is 160 more than number of
females which is 32 less than number of illiterate people in village ‘A’.
So, number of males in village ‘B’ = number of females in village ‘B’ = 0.50 × 1536 = 768
And, number of males in village ‘E’ = (\(\frac{(1184 + 160)}{2}\)} = 672
Number of females in village ‘E’ = 1184 – 672 = 512
Number of illiterate people in village ‘A’ = 512 + 32 = 544
So, number of illiterate females in village ‘A’ = 544 – 208 = 336
And, number of literate females in village ‘A’ = 1008 – 336 = 672
Since, number of females in village ‘C’ is twice the number of illiterate people in village ‘B’.
So, number of illiterate people in village ‘B’ = 1296/2 = 648
Number of illiterate males in village ‘B’ = 768 – 408 = 360
Number of illiterate females in village ‘B’ = 648 – 360 = 288
Number of literate females in village ‘B’ = 768 – 288 = 480
Since, number of males in village ‘A’ is same as the number of females in village ‘D’ which is 160 more than
number of illiterate people in village ‘E’.
So, number of females in village ‘D’ = 720
Number of males in village ‘D’ = 1248 – 720 = 528
Number of illiterate males in village ‘D’ = 528 – 288 = 240
Since, number of illiterate people in village ‘D’ is 65% of number of un-employed people in village ‘B’.
So, number of illiterate people in village ‘D’ = 0.65 × (1536 – 576) = 0.65 × 960 = 624
Number of illiterate females in village ‘D’ = 624 – 240 = 384
Number of literate females in village ‘D’ = 720 – 384 = 336
Since, number of females in village ‘D’ is 160 more than number of illiterate people in village ‘E’.
Number of illiterate people in village ‘E’ = 720 – 160 = 560
Number of illiterate females in village ‘E’ = 512 – 312 = 200
Number of literate females in village ‘E’ = 512 – 200 = 312
