Correct Option: A
As per above given table , we have
Given :- total number of persons = 4200
percent of persons below 26 years = ( 30 + 17.75 ) = 47.75%
Required number = percent of persons below 26 years x total number of persons
= 4200 x 47.75 = 2005.50 = 2006 approx 100

Given :- difference between the Percent of people in the age groups 16–25 and 46–55 = 3.50%
Required. difference in the population= Total number of people in the age group 56 years and above x 3.50 percentage of people in the age group 56−65
Correct Option: A
Given :- Difference between the Percent of people in the age groups 16–25 and 46–55 = 3.50
percentage of people in the age group 56−65 = 5.12%
Total number of people in the age group 56 years and above = 10 million
Required difference in the population= Total number of people in the age group 56 years and above x 3.50 percentage of people in the age group 56−65 = 10 x 3.50 ≈ 6.8 million 5.12

∵ Number of people in the age group 56 − 65
= Total number of people age below 36 years x percentage of people in the age group 56−65 65
Correct Option: B
Given :- percentage of people in the age group 56−65 = 5.12
Total number of people age below 36 years = 200 million

Total population = difference between the number of people in the age groups 46–55 and 26–35 x 100 difference between the percentage of people in the age groups 46–55 and 26–35
Correct Option: B
Given :- difference between the number of people in the age groups 46–55 and 26–35 = 11.75 million
difference between the percentage of people in the age groups 46–55 and 26–35 = 17.25 - 14.25 = 3 millionTotal population = difference between the number of people in the age groups 46–55 and 26–35 x 100 difference between the percentage of people in the age groups 46–55 and 26–35 = 11.75 x 100 ≈ 391.67 million 3
