Question 61

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?

Solution

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
