What will be the number of females above the poverty line in the State S if it is known that the population of State S is 7 million? |
||||||||||||||||
Answer: Option B Explanation: Total population of State S = 7 million.
= [(100 - 19)% of 7] million = (81% of 7) million = 5.67 million. And so, the number of females above poverty line in State S
= 2.43 million. |
The following table gives the percentage distribution of population of five states, P, Q, R, S and T on the basis of poverty line and also on the basis of sex.
| State | Percentage of Population below the Poverty Line | Proportion of Males and Females | |
| Below Poverty Line | Above Poverty Line | ||
| M : F | M : F | ||
| P | 35 | 5 : 6 | 6 : 7 |
| Q | 25 | 3 : 5 | 4 : 5 |
| R | 24 | 1 : 2 | 2 : 3 |
| S | 19 | 3 : 2 | 4 : 3 |
