Study the following pie-chart and the table and answer the questions based on them.
Proportion of Population of Seven Villages in 1997
Find the population of village S if the population of village X below poverty line in 1997 is 12160.
A.
18500
B.
20500
C.
22000
D.
26000
Correct answer is C
Let the population of village X be x.
Then, 38% of x = 12160 => x = (12160 x 100)/38 = 32000
Now, if s be the population of village S, then
16 : 11 = 32000 : s => s = ( (11 x 3200)/16 ) = 22000
