On the basis of given table in question ,
∵ Difference between the number of people in the age groups (46 – 55) and (16 – 25) = 0.975 million
Percent of people in the age groups (46 – 55) = 18.25%
And Percent of people in the age groups (16 – 25) = 15%
⇒ (18.25 – 15)% ≡ 0.975 millionCorrect Option: B

As per the given above table , we see
Percentage of people below 36 years = (20 + 18.25 + 16.75)% = 55%
Percent of people in the age group (56 – 65) = 12.50%
∵ 55% ≡ 22 millionCorrect Option: A

As per the given above table , we see
Candidates qualified under science discipline in year 2006 ⇒ 780 × 40 = 312 100 Candidates qualified under science discipline in year 2007 ⇒ 650 × 42 = 273 100 Candidates qualified under science discipline in year 2008 ⇒ 500 × 45 = 225 100
Correct Option: A
As per the given above table , we see
Candidates qualified under science discipline in year 2006 ⇒ 780 × 40 = 312 100 Candidates qualified under science discipline in year 2007 ⇒ 650 × 42 = 273 100 Candidates qualified under science discipline in year 2008 ⇒ 500 × 45 = 225 100 Candidates qualified under science discipline in year 2009 ⇒ 45 × 620 = 279 100 Candidates qualified under science discipline in year 2010 ⇒ 35 × 900 = 315 100 Candidates qualified under science discipline in year 2011 ⇒ 42 × 850 = 357 100
Required average difference = Average number of candidates qualified in Science year from 2009 to 20011 - Average number of candidates qualified in Science year from 2006 to 2008Required average difference = 1 [(279 + 315 + 357) – (312 + 273 + 225)] = 1 (951 – 810) 3 3 = 1 × 141 = 47 3
