What will be the number of females above the poverty line in the State S if it is known that the population of State S is 7 million?

A.

3 million

B.

2.43 million

C.

1.33 million

D.

5.7 million

Correct answer is B

Total population of State S = 7 million.

Therefore Population above poverty line

= [(100 - 19)% of 7] million

= (81% of 7) million

= 5.67 million.

And so, the number of females above poverty line in State S

= ( 3/7 x 5.67 ) million

= 2.43 million.
