The given pie charts show the proportion of the population and the proportion of population below poverty line of six towns P, Q, R, S, T and U in 2018. Study the pie charts and answer the question that follows.
If the population of the town 'U' is 12,00,000 then the population below poverty line of town 'P' is:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Population of U = 12% of total population
Total population = \(\frac{100}{20}\) × 1200000
= 6000000
Population of P = \(\frac{10}{100}\) × 6000000
= 600000
Population of P below poverty line = \(\frac{12}{100}\) × 600000
= 72000
