Direction: Study the following Table and answer the following questions carefully.

  1. If in State E population of females above poverty line is 19800 then what is the population of males below poverty line in that State?
    1. 5500
    2. 3000
    3. 2970
    4. Data inadequate
    5. None of these
Correct Option: B

According to question,
The population of females above poverty line in State E = 19800
As per given graph,
Proportion of Male and Female above poverty line in State E = 3 : 2
If 2 Female above poverty line then total population above poverty line will be 5 in State E
If 1 Female above poverty line then total population above poverty line will be 5/2 in State E
If 19800 Female above poverty line then total population above poverty line will be 5 x 19800/ 2 in State E
Population of State E above poverty line = 5 x 19800/ 2 = 5 x 9900 = 49500
Percentage population below poverty line in State E = 10 % ( As given in table chart )
∴ Percentage population above poverty line in State E = ( 100 - 10 ) % = 90 %
∴ Total population of State E = 49500 x 100 / 90 = 4950 x 100 / 9 = 550 x 100 = 55000
Percentage of population below poverty line in State E = 10 %
Population below poverty line in State E = 55000 x 10 % = 55000 x 10 / 100 = 5500
Ratio of population of males and females below poverty line in State E = 6 : 5
Since population below poverty line is 11 then male population below poverty line = 6
Since population below poverty line is 1 then male population below poverty line = 6 / 11
Hence population below poverty line is 5500 then male population below poverty line = 6 x 5500 / 11 = 6 x 500 = 3000
