Comparative Data of few States
State A : Infant Mortality Rate (2020) = 28 ; Literacy Rate (2017-18) = 82 ; Net Attendance Rate (Class 1 to 5) = 73
State B : Infant Mortality Rate (2020) = 6 ; Literacy Rate (2017-18) = 94 ; Net Attendance Rate (Class 1 to 5) = 94
State C : Infant Mortality Rate (2020) = 27 ; Literacy Rate (2017-18) = 62 ; Net Attendance Rate (Class 1 to 5) = 69
By how many points does State B's literacy rate exceed that of State A in 2017-18 ?
