Solution

To solve this problem, we first need to find out the number of men and women in the town.

  1. The ratio of women to men is 43:40, which means for every 43 women, there are 40 men. The total ratio is 43 + 40 = 83.

  2. To find the number of women, we multiply the total population by the ratio of women to the total ratio. So, the number of women is (43/83) * 311250 = 186250.

  3. Similarly, to find the number of men, we multiply the total population by the ratio of men to the total ratio. So, the number of men is (40/83) * 311250 = 125000.

  4. Now, we know that 24% of men and 8% of women are literate. So, the number of literate men is 0.24 * 125000 = 30000 and the number of literate women is 0.08 * 186250 = 14900.

  5. Adding these two numbers together, we find that the total number of literate people in the town is 30000 + 14900 = 44900.

So, the correct answer is 44900.
