D. 85%

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Number of females :
= 25000 × $$\frac{1}{5}$$
= 5000
Number of males :
= 25000 - 5000
= 20000
Number of educated females :
= 5000 × $$\frac{60}{100}$$
= 3000
Number of educated males
= 20000 × $$\frac{95}{100}$$
= 19000
Total educated population = 22000
Percentage of educated population
= $$\frac{22000}{25000}$$  × 100
= 88%
