A78.0%
B69.7%
C85.8%
D86.3%
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. 85.8%
1. Literacy is broken down by sex in Census 2011.
2. The male literacy rate of Gujarat was 85.8%.
3. The 69.7% figure is the female literacy rate, so it is a trap.
4. The 78.0% figure is the overall state literacy rate, not male-specific.
5. Therefore the male literacy rate was 85.8%.
