17.5%

25%

22.5%

- Let's take the total number of voters as 100 for simplicity.

- Males: 60 (60% of 100)

- Illiterate males: 40% of 60 = 24 (so, literate males = 60 - 24 = 36)

- Females: 40 (100 - 60)

- Literate females: 25% of 40 = 10 (so, illiterate females = 40 - 10 = 30)

- Difference: Literate males (36) - Illiterate females (30) = 6

- Percentage by which literate males are more than illiterate females:

$$ \left( \frac{6}{30} \right) \times 100 = 20\% $$

The correct answer is Option:1 - 20%
