If the population of village R in 1997 is 32000, then what will be the population of village Y below poverty line in that year?
14100
15600
16500
17000
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Population of village R = 32000 (given).

Let the population of village Y be y.

Then, 16 : 15 = 32000 : y     => y = ( 15 x 32000 ) = 30000.
16

Therefore Population of village Y below poverty line = 52% of 30000 = 15600.
