Below Poverty Line Above Poverty Line
M : F M : F
P355 : 66 : 7
Q253 : 54 : 5
R241 : 22 : 3

Q1:

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

A 4.5 million

B 4.85 million

C 5.35 million

D 6.25 million

ANS:D - 6.25 million

Let the total population of State R be x million. Then, population of State R above poverty line     = [(100 - 24)% of x] million

    = ( 76 x x ) million
100
And so, male population of State R above poverty line
    = [ 2 x ( 76 x x ) ] million
5 100
But, it is given that male population of State R above poverty line = 1.9 million.
Therefore 2 x ( 76 x x ) = 1.9     =>     x = 5 x 100 x 1.9 = 6.25.
5 100 76 x 2
Therefore Total population of State R = 6.25 million.
