Marks: +1, -0

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 ______

Solution:

Population percentage of village V in 2009 = 10%
Since 15% = 30000
∴ 10% =

{30000}/{15}

× 10 = 20000
Population of village V in 2010
=

{20000×110}/{100}

= 22000
∴ Population below poverty line
=

{22000×58}/{100}

= 12760
