Study the following pie chart and table and answer the questions based on them.
Q. If in 2003, the population of cities Q and V increase by 10% each and the percentage of illiterate population remains unchanged for all the cities, then find the illiterate population of city V in 2003, given that the population of village Q in 2002 was 3.2 million.

• A. 1.17 million
• B. 1.33 million
• C. 1.91 million
• D. 1.73 million

Answer 1

The correct option is A 1.17 million

Population of city Y in 2002 = 3.2 million (given)
Then, population of V in$2002=\frac{\text{3.2 million}}{16}\times 14=2.8$million
Now, population of city V in 2003 = 2800000 + (10% of 2800000) = 3080000.
Therefore illiterate population of city V in 2003 = 3.08 million$\times \frac{38}{100}=1.17$ million
