• A. $3million$
• B. $2.43million$
• C. $1.33million$
• D. $5.7million$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$2.43million$

Total population of State $S=7$ million.
$\therefore$ Population above poverty line
$=\left[\right(100-19)$% of $7]$ million
$=(81$% of $7)million$
$=5.67million$.
An so, the number of females above poverty line in State S
$=(\frac{3}{7}\times 5.67)million$
$=2.43million$.
