There are 3000 literate in a village 55 percent read English newspaper and 60 Malayalam 25 neither How many persons both newspapers?

Let the number of persons who read both English and Malayalam newspapers be \(x\). Then,

Number of persons who read only English newspaper = \(55x - x = 45x\)

Number of persons who read only Malayalam newspaper = \(60x - x = 55x\)

Number of persons who read neither newspaper = \(3000 - 55x - 55x - 25x = 3000 - 135x\)

Since the total number of literate persons in the village is 3000, we have:

$$45x + 55x + 25x + x = 3000$$

$$ \Rightarrow 125x= 3000$$

$$ \Rightarrow x= 3000/125$$

$$ \Rightarrow x= 24$$

Therefore, the number of persons who read both English and Malayalam newspapers is \(24\).
