Solution : As per the given bar graph: The total population in 1981 = 35 + 33 = 68 crore The total population in 1991 = 44 + 41 = 85 crore Total increase in population from 1991 to 1981 = 85 – 68 = 17 crore Percentage increase = $\frac{\text{Total increase in population}}{{\text{The total population in 1981}}}×100$ Percentage increase = $\frac{\text{17}}{{\text{68}}}×100=25\%$ So, total population in 2001 = 125% of 85 crore = $\frac{85×125}{100}$ = 106.25 crore Hence, the correct answer is 106.25 crore.
