Here, we have to find the value of 7/(8/9) - (7/8)/9.(7 x 9/8) - [(7/(8 x 9)]63/8 - 7/72[(63 x 9) - 7] / 72567 - 7/72 = 560/72 = 70/9 = 7 7/9.Hence, 7/(8/9) is greater than (7/8)/9 by 7 7/9.
Let the population of village = N Then, adult's population = 5N/8and adult females = 1/2 x 5N/8 = 5N/16 ∴ illiterate females = 4/5 of adult female population ⇒ 400 = 4/5 x 5N/16 ⇒ N = (400 x 16)/4∴ N = 1600
