Study the following graph and the table and answer the questions given below.
Data of different states regarding population of states in the year 1998
Total population of the given States = 3276000.
States | Sex and Literacy wise Population Ratio | |||
Sex | Literacy | |||
M | F | Literate | Illiterate | |
A.P | 5 | 3 | 2 | 7 |
M.P | 3 | 1 | 1 | 4 |
Delhi | 2 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
Goa | 3 | 5 | 3 | 2 |
Bihar | 3 | 4 | 4 | 1 |
U.P. | 3 | 2 | 7 | 2 |
T.N. | 3 | 4 | 9 | 4 |
5.
If in the year 1998, there was an increase of 10% in the population of U.P. and 12% in the population of M.P. compared to the previous year, then what was the ratio of populations of U.P. and M.P. in 1997?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Let x be the population of U.P. in 1997. Then,
Population of U.P. in 1998 = 110% of x = | 110 | x x. |
100 |
Also, let y be the population of M.P. in 1997. Then,
Population of M.P. in 1998 = 112% of y = | 112 | x y. |
100 |
Ratio of populations of U.P. and M.P. in 1998 = |
|
= | 110x | . | |||||
|
112y |
From the pie-chart, this ratio is | 15 | . |
20 |
![]() |
110x | = | 15 | ![]() |
x | = | 15 | x | 112 | = | 42 | . |
112y | 20 | y | 20 | 110 | 55 |
Thus, ratio of populations of U.P. and M.P. in 1997 = x : y = 42 : 55.

Can it be written in these way also or not?
( 90% of 15% of total ) ÷ ( 88% of 20% of total).
= ( 90*15*N ) ÷ ( 88*20*N).
= 135 ÷ 176.
( 90% of 15% of total ) ÷ ( 88% of 20% of total).
= ( 90*15*N ) ÷ ( 88*20*N).
= 135 ÷ 176.

{(15*100)÷110}:{(20*100)÷112}.
42 : 55.
42 : 55.

Could it be explained in any other way?

Why not this?
(15/100)*100/110 : (20/100)*100/120.
= (3/20)*(10/11) : (1/5)*(5/6).
= 3/11 : 1/6 = 18:22.
= 9:11.
(15/100)*100/110 : (20/100)*100/120.
= (3/20)*(10/11) : (1/5)*(5/6).
= 3/11 : 1/6 = 18:22.
= 9:11.
