Study the following pie-chart and the table and answer the questions based on them.
Proportion of Population of Seven Villages in 1997
If the population of village R in 1997 is 32000, then what will be the population of village Y below poverty line in that year?
A.
14100
B.
15600
C.
16500
D.
17000
Correct answer is B
Population of village R = 32000 (given).
Let the population of village Y be y.
Then, 16 : 15 = 32000 : y => y = ( (15 x 32000)/16 ) = 30000
Therefore Population of village Y below poverty line = 52% of 30000 = 15600.
