    On the basis of given table in question ,
    Total population in 1992 = 160998
    Total population in 1991 = 153922 – 5337 = 148585
    ∴ Increase in population in 1992 over 1991 = Total population in 1992 - Total population in 1991

    Correct Option: B

    On the basis of given table in question ,
    Total population in 1992 = 160998
    Total population in 1991 = 153922 – 5337 = 148585
    ∴ Increase in population in 1992 over 1991 = Total population in 1992 - Total population in 1991
    Increase in population in 1992 over 1991 = 160998 – 148585 = 12413

    On the basis of given table in question ,
    Total population in 1990 = 153922
    Decrease in 1991 = 5337
    Total population in 1991 = Total population in 1990 - Decrease in 1991 = 153922 – 5337 = 148585
    Total population of men and children in 1991 = 69395 + 21560 = 90955
    Number of women in 1991 = Total population in 1991 – total population of men and children in 1991

    Correct Option: A

    On the basis of given table in question ,
    Total population in 1990 = 153922

    Total population in 1991 = Total population in 1990 - Decrease in 1991 = 153922 – 5337 = 148585
    Total population of men and children in 1991 = 69395 + 21560 = 90955
    Number of women in 1991 = Total population in 1991 – total population of men and children in 1991 = 148585 – 90955 = 57630
