Question : 74 of 100

Marks: +1, -0

If the population of the village ‘R’ is 32000, then the below poverty line population of village ‘Y’ is

14100
15600
16500
17000

Validate

Solution:

Population percentage of village R = 16%
Population percentage of village Y = 15%
Since 16% = 32000
∴ 15% =

{32000}/{16}

× 15
= 30000
∴ Population below poverty line in village Y
= 52% of 30000
= 30000 ×

{52}/{100}

= 15600
