C .   1000
D .   500
Answer: Option B
:
B

Given: Out of total population, 25% were doctors, 30% engineers, 15% businessmen and rest were illiterates.
Hence, percentage of illiterates =100(25+30+15)=30%


So, number of illiterates =30% of 5000
                                        =30100×5000
                                        =1500
