Question

The ratio of population of village T below poverty line to that of village Z below poverty line in 1997 is:

• A. 11 : 23
• B. 13 : 11
• C. 23 : 11
• D. 11 : 13

Answer 1

The correct option is C 23 : 11

Let N be the total population of all the seven villages.

Then, population of village T below poverty line = 46% of (21% of N)

and Population of villages Z below the poverty line = 42% of (11% of N)

$\therefore$ Required ratio $=\frac{46\%of\left(21\%ofN\right)}{42\%of(11}=\frac{46\times 21}{42\times 11}=23/11.$
