Find the population of village S if the population of village X below poverty line in 1997 is 12160.
Answer: Option

Let the population of village X be x.
Then, 38% of x = 12160  x = |
12160 x 100 | = 32000. |

16:11 means percentage of X and percentage of S.
16% X =32000.
then 11% S be y.
y = (32000*11)/16 = 22000.
16% X =32000.
then 11% S be y.
y = (32000*11)/16 = 22000.

Instead, you can just calculate the total population and arrive at population simply. The question contains unnecessary information!
TOTAL POPULATION=200000 ;S=200000*11/100=22000.
TOTAL POPULATION=200000 ;S=200000*11/100=22000.
