    Answer : Option D

    Explanation :

    Female population below poverty line for State P = 2.1 million

    Let the male population below poverty line for State P be x million.

    Then, 5 : 6 = x : 21     =>     x = \(\frac {2.1 *5 } { 6} \) = 1.75

    Therefore Population below poverty line for State P = (2.1 + 1.75) million = 3.85 million.

    Let the population above poverty line for State P by y million.

    Since, 35% of the total population of State P is below poverty line, therefore, 65% of the total population of State P is above poverty line i.e., the ratio of population below poverty line to that above poverty line for State P is 35 : 65.

    Therefore 35 : 65 = 3.85 : y     =>  y = \(\frac { 65*3.85 } { 35} \) = 7.15

    Therefore Population above poverty line for State P = 7.15 million and so, male population above poverty line for State P

    =  [ \(\frac { 6 } {13 }\) x 7.15]million

    = 3.3 million
