Answer 1

Literacy Rate is expressed as a proportion of the literate population in the age group 7 years and above.

Explanation:

In India, the Literacy Rate is defined as the percentage of the total population aged 7 and above who can read and write in any language. Children under the age of 7 are excluded from this computation, even if they are in school or have learned to read and write, because basic literacy is officially anticipated to be achieved at that age.
