Explanation:

Number of males in U.P.
= [   3 of (15% of 3276000) ]
5
= 3 x 15 x 3726000
5 100
= 294840.


2.

(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

No. of illiterate people in A.P. = [ 7 of (25% of 3276000) ] = 637000.
9

No. of illiterate people in M.P. = [ 4 of (20% of 3276000) ] = 524160.
5

Therefore Total number = (637000 + 524160) = 1161160.


3.
What is the ratio of the number of females in T.N. to the number of females in Delhi?
7 : 5
9 : 7

4 of (9% of 3276000)
7
3 of (8% of 3276000)
5
=
( 4 x 9 )
7
( 3 x 8 )
5
= ( 4 x 9 x 5 x 1 )
7 3 8
= 15 .

4.
What will be the percentage of total number of males in U.P., M.P. and Goa together to the total population of all the given states?
25%
27.5%
28.5%
31.5%
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Number of males in U.P = [ 3 of (15% of N) ]   = 3 x 15 x N   = 9 x N .
5 5 100 100

where N = 3276000.

Number of males in M.P = [ 3 of (20% of N) ]   = 3 x 20 x N   = 15 x N .
4 4 100 100

Number of males in Goa = [ 3 of (12% of N) ]   = 3 x 12 x N   = 4.5 x N .
8 8 100 100

Therefore Total number of males in these three states
= (9 + 15 + 4.5) x N
100
= ( 28.5 x N ) .
100

Therefore Required Percentage = [
( 28.5 x N )
100
x 100 ] % = 28.5%.
N


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?
42 : 55
48 : 55
7 : 11
4 : 5
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct 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 =
( 110 x x )
100
= 110x .
( 112 x y )
100
112y

From the pie-chart, this ratio is 15 .
20

Therefore 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.
