Q1:

If the population of village R in 1997 is 32000, then what will be the population of village Y below poverty line in that year?

A 14100

B 15600

C 16500

D 17000

ANS:B - 15600

Population of village R = 32000 (given). Let the population of village Y be y.

           
Then, 16 : 15 = 32000 : y     => y =(15 x 32000)= 30000.
16
Therefore Population of village Y below poverty line = 52% of 30000 = 15600.
