1.  If the population of village R in 1997 is 32000, then what will be the population of village Y below poverty line in that year ?

A. 14100
B. 15600
C. 16500
D. 17000

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Population of village R = 32000 (given).

Let the population of village Y be y.

Then, 16 : 15 = 32000 : y     => y =(15 x 32000)

16

= 30000.

Therefore Population of village Y below poverty line 

= 52% of 30000 = 15600
