पर्याय

• 81%

• 61%

• 69%

• 18%

Answer 1

18%

Explanation:

• The first category, the rural population's literacy rate, includes school graduates.
• The second category, the literacy rate for rural children aged 10-14 years, includes only those aged 10-14 years.
• The third category, the percentage of rural children aged 10-14 attending school, includes students who are currently enrolled in school.
• So, 100-82 (because only girls are asked) = 18%
