Directions (Q. 6-10): Study the following table and answer the following questions.

6. If the population of females below poverty line in city D is 24000, then the population of males above poverty line in that city is:
   A) 62400
   B) 93600
   C) 70000
   D) 130000
   E) None of these
   

   Answer & Explanation

   B) 93600
   Explanation:
   Note – in all these questions, see that we are only given a % of people living below poverty line out of total people in that city.
   Let total people below poverty line = x
   In D, females below poverty line is 6/(5+6) * x
   So 6/11 * x = 24000, x = 44,000
   Let total population in city D is y
   Then 22% of y = 44,000
   Solve, y = 200,000
   So population above poverty line = 200,000 – 44,000= 156,000
   So males above poverty line = 3/(3+2) * 156000 = 93600
   
   
7. If the total population of city A is 300,000, then the difference of number of males below poverty line and number of females above poverty line in this city is
   A) 54000
   B) 74400
   C) 68400
   D) 93600
   E) None of these
   

   Answer & Explanation

   C) 68400
   Explanation:
   In A, popu. below poverty line = 18/100 * 300,000 = 54000, so males below poverty line = 5/9 * 54000 = 30,000
   Pop. above poverty line = 300,000 – 54,000 = 246,000, so females above poverty line = 2/5 * 246,000 = 98400
   So diff = 98400 – 30000 = 68400
   
   
8. If the total population of city B and city C is 500000 and 350000 respectively, the ratio of number of females below poverty line in B and C is
   A) 28 : 35
   B) 6 : 7
   C) 16 : 21
   D) 7 : 6
   E) None of these
   

   Answer & Explanation

   C) 16 : 21
   Explanation:
   In B, below poverty line = 14/100 * 500,000 = 70,000, so females below poverty line = 4/7 * 70,000 = 40,000
   In C, below poverty line = 25/100 * 350,000 = 87,500, so females below poverty line = 3/5 * 87,500 = 52,500
   Ratio = 40,000 : 52,500
   
   
9. If the population of males below poverty line in city F is 32000 and that in city E is 39000, then what percent of total population of E is total population of F ?
   A) 61.54
   B) 90.22
   C) 82.05
   D) 71.45
   E) None of these
   

   Answer & Explanation

   A) 61.54
   Explanation:
   Let people below poverty line in F = x, so 4/9 * x = 32000
   Solve, x = 72,000
   18/100 * y = 72,000
   Solve, y = 400,000 = total pop. in F
   Let people below poverty line in E = x, so 3/5 * x = 39000
   Solve, x = 65,000
   10/100 * y = 65,000
   Solve, y = 650,000 = total pop. in E
   Required % = 400,000/650,000 * 100 = 61.54
   
   
   
10. What is the sum of the number of females below poverty line and number of males above poverty line in city D if population is 24000?
    A) 12122
    B) 13426
    C) 11232
    D) 14112
    E) None of these
    

    Answer & Explanation

    D) 14112
    Explanation:
    People below poverty line = 22/100 * 24000 = 5280, so females below poverty line = 6/11 * 5280 = 2880
    People above poverty line = 24000 – 5280 = 18720, so males above poverty line = 3/5 * 18720 = 2880 = 11232
    Total = 2880+11232 = 14112
