B Correct answer
Explanation

Females = 5000, Males = 20000. Educated females = 60% of 5000 = 3000. Educated males = 95% of 20000 = 19000. Total educated = 22000. Percentage = (22000/25000) * 100 = 88%.

AI explanation

Out of the 25,000 total population, one-fifth of the people are females, meaning there are 5,000 females and 20,000 males. The number of uneducated males is 1,000 (5% of 20,000), and the number of uneducated females is 2,000 (40% of 5,000), giving a total of 3,000 uneducated people. The remaining 22,000 people are educated, so the overall educated percentage is (22,000 divided by 25,000) multiplied by 100, which equals 88%.
