    Question



    As per the 2011 Census, the female literacy rate of India is

    A.

    82·14%

    B.

    74·04%

    C.

    65·46%

    D.

    More than one of the above

    E.

    None of the above

    Correct option is C


    According to the 2011 Census of India, the female literacy rate was 65·46%. This was a significant increase from previous years, but still reflects the challenges in ensuring equal access to education for women in India.
    Information Booster: The female literacy rate in India has improved over the years, reflecting the efforts made by the government and various NGOs to improve education for girls. However, there remains a significant gender gap in literacy rates, particularly in rural areas and certain states. The 65·46% figure from the 2011 Census shows the progress made, but highlights the need for further investments in education and gender equality.
    Additional Knowledge on Incorrect Options:
    · 82·14% (Option A): This is incorrect. 82·14% refers to the overall literacy rate for India (both male and female), not just for females.
    · 74·04% (Option B): This is incorrect. 74·04% is the female literacy rate in India, but this is from the 2011 Census overall statistic, not the 65·46% rate specifically given in the context of female literacy.
    · More than one of the above (Option D): This is incorrect as only 65·46% is the correct figure for the female literacy rate in the 2011 Census.
    · None of the above (Option E): This is incorrect, as 65·46% is the correct answer.
