Explanatory Answer

In a group 28% are young, 72% are old
In the same group 65% are literates and 35% are illiterates
Young literates = \\frac{1}{4}) (65%) = 16.25%, So remaining 11.75% are young illiterates
Out of 35% illiterates = 11.75% is young and remaining 23.25% are old illiterates
So, \\frac{23.25}{35}) × 100 ≅ 66


The answer is, "66"
