    Required number = percent of persons below 26 years x total number of persons

    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

    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: 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 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

    = 11.75 x 100 ≈ 391.67 million
