What will be the male population above poverty line for State P if the female population below poverty line for State P is 2.1 million?
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
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.
35 : 65 = 3.85 : y y = \(\frac { 65*3.85 } { 35} \) = 7.15
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
