Question:

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:

Options:

74000

68000

56000

72000

Correct Answer:

72000

Explanation:

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
