Question 63

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 population of males below the poverty line for State C is 3 million, then what is the total population of State C?

Solution

Population of males below the poverty line for State C = 3 million

Ratio of the male to female population = 3 : 02

Population of males below the poverty line for State C = $$\frac{3}{3} \times$$ 2 = 2 million

Percentage population below the the poverty line = 19%

3 + 2 = 19%

19% = 5 million

Total population(100%) = $$\frac{5}{19} \times 100$$ = 26.31%
