The following table shows the percentage distribution of the population of five states, A, B, C, D and E on the basis of the poverty line and also on the basis of sex.

If the male population above the poverty line for State B is 2.5 million, then what is the total population of State B?

Male population above the poverty line for State B = 2.5 million

Ratio of male to female population above the poverty line for State B = 2 : 03

Female population above the poverty line for State B =$$\frac{2.5}{2} \times 3 $$ = 3.75 million

Total population above the poverty line for State B = 2.5 + 3.75 = 6.25 million

Percentage population above the poverty line = 100 - 25 = 75%

75% = 6.25 million

Total population = $$\frac{6.25}{75} \times 100 = 8.33 = 8 \frac{1}{3}$$ million
