Answer 1

The correct option is B $35.59\%$

Total urban population of Maharashtra and Odisha together
$=\frac{2250000\times 17}{45}+\frac{1136000\times 5}{16}$
$=850000+355000=1205000$
Total population of Maharashtra and Odisha
$=2250000+1136000=3386000$
$\therefore$ Required percentage $=\frac{1205000}{3386000}\times 100=35.587=35.59\%$
