(ii)Rs3000

(iii)Rs2000

(iv)Rs6000

Answer 1

Per capita income is the total income of the country/state divided by the number of people in that country/state.

Here are a total of four families. The average per capita income (5000) is equal to (4000+7000+3000+x) / 4

Income of fourth family is Rs. 20,000 - Rs. 14,000 = Rs. 6,000.
