A 2.1 million
B
2.3 million
C 2.7 million

3.3 million
ANS:D - 3.3 million Female population below poverty line for State P = 2.1 million Let the male population below poverty line for State P be x million.
 Population below poverty line for State P = (2.1 + 1.75) million = 3.85 million.
Let the population above poverty line for State P by y million.
Since, 35% of the total population of State P is below poverty line, therefore, 65% of the total population of State P is above poverty line i.e., the ratio of population below poverty line to that above poverty line for State P is 35 : 65.
Population above poverty line for State P = 7.15 million and so, male population above poverty line for State P
