Solution

The correct option is B 12760
Population of village Y in 1997 = 30000 (given).
Let the population of village V in 1997 be v.
Then 15:10=30000 30000×1015=20000
Now, population of village V in 1998 = 20000 + (10% of 20000) = 22000.
Population of village V below poverty line in 1998 = 58% of 22000 = 12760.
