Direction: The following pie chart shows proportion of population of seven villages in 2009. Study the pie chart and answer the questions that follow :
-
In 2010, the population of ‘Y’ and ‘V’ increases by 10% each and the percentage of population below poverty line remains unchanged for all the villages. If in 2009, the population of village Y was 30,000, then the below poverty line population of village ‘V’ in 2010 is ______
-
- 11250
- 12760
- 13140
- 13780
Correct Option: B
As per the given pie chart in question ,
Population percentage of village V in 2009 = 10%
Population percentage of village Y = 15%
Population percentage of below poverty line of village V = 58%
The population of village Y = 30,000
∵ 15% ≡ 30000
| ∴ 10% ≡ | × 10 = 20000 | 15 |
Population percentage of village V in 2009 = 20000
Now , Population of village V in 2010 = 110% of Population percentage of village V in 2009
| Population of village V in 2010 = | = 22000 | 100 |
∴ Population below poverty line = 58% of 22000
| ∴ Population below poverty line = | = 12760 | 100 |
