D5 12 3 : 7 2 : 7

If the total population of District D4, is 35000, then what is the number of females above the poverty line in the district D4?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 11,250

Here the percentage of total people above the poverty line is (100 - 25)% = 75%

The total people above poverty line is 75% of 35000 = 75/100 × 35000 = 2625000/100 = 26250

As per the question, the ratio of males and females above the poverty line population is 4 : 3

So, the number of females above the poverty line in the district D4 = 3/7 × 26250 = 11250
