The following table gives the percentage distribution of population of five states, P, Q, R, S and T on the basis of poverty line and also on the basis of sex.
What will be the number of females above the poverty line in the State S if it is known that the population of State S is 7 million?
A.
3 million
B.
2.43 million
C.
1.33 million
D.
5.7 million
Correct answer is B
Total population of State S = 7 million.
Therefore Population above poverty line
= [(100 - 19)% of 7] million
= (81% of 7) million
= 5.67 million.
And so, the number of females above poverty line in State S
= ( 3/7 x 5.67 ) million
= 2.43 million.
