Data of different states regarding population of states in the year 1998

Total population of the given States = 3276000.

States Sex and Literacy wise Population Ratio
Sex Literacy
M F Literate Illiterate
A.P 5 3 2 7
M.P 3 1 1 4
Delhi 2 3 2 1
Goa 3 5 3 2
Bihar 3 4 4 1
U.P. 3 2 7 2
T.N. 3 4 9 4

Q1: If in the year 1998, there was an increase of 10% in the population of U.P. and 12% in the population of M.P. compared to the previous year, then what was the ratio of populations of U.P. and M.P. in 1997?

A 42 : 55

B 48 : 55

C 7 : 11

D 4 : 5

ANS:A - 42 : 55

Let x be the population of U.P. in 1997. Then,

Population of U.P. in 1998 = 110% of x = 110 x x.
100
Also, let y be the population of M.P. in 1997. Then,
Population of M.P. in 1998 = 112% of y = 112 x y.
100
Ratio of populations of U.P. and M.P. in 1998 =
( 110 x x )
100
= 110x .
( 112 x y )
100
112y
From the pie-chart, this ratio is 15 .
20
Therefore 110x = 15   =>   x = 15 x 112 = 42 .
112y 20 y 20 110 55
Thus, ratio of populations of U.P. and M.P. in 1997 = x : y = 42 : 55.
