The given Bar Graph presents the percentages of population in the age groups, X(above 50 years), Y(20 to 50 years), Z(below 20 years)in five different villages, A, B, C, D and E with total population of 5000, 6000, 8000, 4500 and 6000 respectively.
The number of persons having ages below 20 years in villages, B and C taken together is what percentage of the total population of the said villages?
Number of persons having age below 20 years in Village B$$=\frac{20}{100}\times6000=1200$$
Number of persons having age below 20 years in Village C$$=\frac{35}{100}\times8000=2800$$
Total Population of B = 6000
Total Population of C = 8000
$$\therefore\ $$Required Percentage$$=\frac{1200+2800}{6000+8000}\times100=\frac{4000}{14000}\times100=\frac{200}{7}$$
Hence, the correct answer is Option B
