If the male population above poverty line for State R is 1.9 million, then the total population of State R is?

4.5 million

4.85 million

5.35 million

6.25 million

Answer : Option D

Explanation :

Let the total population of State R be x million.

Then, population of State R above poverty line

= [(100 - 24)% of x] million

= [ $\frac { 76 } {100 }$ x x ] million

And so, male population of State R above poverty line

= [ $\frac { 2 } {5}$ x ( $\frac { 76 } {100 }$ xx)] million

But, it is given that male population of State R above poverty line = 1.9 million.

$\frac { 2 } {5}$ x ( $\frac { 76 } {100 }$ xx) = 1..9 x = $\frac { 5*100*1.9 } { 76*2 }$ = 6.25
