2.17 million

Correct Answer:

3.17 million

Explanation:

ATQ ,

( 15% + 20.25% + 16.75%) of total number of people = 30 million

Total number of people = \(\frac{30}{52}\) × 100 = 52.69 million

Now , Number of people in age group of 56 - 65 = 5.50% of total number of people

= \(\frac{5.50}{100}\) × 52.69

= 3.17 million
