Question : Study the given table and answer the question that follows.
The table shows the percentage population of four states below the poverty line and the proportion of males to females.
| State | Percentage of the population below the poverty line | Proportion of male to female | |
| Below poverty line | Above poverty line | ||
| Male : Female | Male : Female | ||
| P | 28 | 3 : 2 | 7 : 3 |
| Q | 15 | 4 : 7 | 6 : 5 |
| R | 24 | 5 : 3 | 3 : 3 |
| S | 13 | 2 : 5 | 1 : 3 |
if the total population of state R is 26,000, then what is the number of females above the poverty line in state R?
Option 1: 9,780
Option 2: 9,880
Option 3: 9,560
Option 4: 9,950
Correct Answer: 9,880
Solution :
Total population of state R = 26,000
Percentage of the population below the poverty line = 24% of 26000
Percentage of the population above the poverty line
= (100 – 24)% of 26000
= 76% of 26000
= 19760
Ratio of male to female above poverty line = 3 : 3 = 1 : 1
$\therefore$ Number of females above the poverty line in state R
= $\frac{1}{1+1}×19760$
= $\frac{1}{2}×19760$
= $9880$
Hence, the correct answer is 9880.
