The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Percentage of population above poverty line for state D = 100\(\%\) - 19\(\%\) = 81\(\%\)
Since the total population is 7 million of state D.
→Total population above poverty line for state D = 81\(\%\) of 7 million = 5.67 million
Now the ratio of males and females above the poverty line for state D = 4:3
\(\therefore\) Fraction of females \(=\frac{3}{7}\)
Number of females above the poverty line in the state D \(=(\frac{3}{7})\times5.67=2.43\) million
there are 2.43 million females above the poverty line in state D.
The correct option is (B): 2.43 million
Since the total population is 7 million of state D.
→Total population above poverty line for state D = 81\(\%\) of 7 million = 5.67 million
Now the ratio of males and females above the poverty line for state D = 4:3
\(\therefore\) Fraction of females \(=\frac{3}{7}\)
Number of females above the poverty line in the state D \(=(\frac{3}{7})\times5.67=2.43\) million
there are 2.43 million females above the poverty line in state D.
The correct option is (B): 2.43 million

The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Percentage of population above poverty line in state C = 100\(\%\) -24\(\%\) = 76\(\%\)
Also, the ratio of males and females for state C who are above the poverty line = 2:3
Let the total population of state C be x.
Now, the fraction of males above the poverty line is \(\frac{2}{5}\). Also, the male population is 1.9 million.
⇒ \(x\times\frac{76}{100}\times\frac{2}{5}=1.9\)
⇒ \(x=6.25\) million
the total population of state C is 6.25 million.
The correct option is (D): 6.25 million
