    If the number of males below poverty line for the city 'P' is 80000 and that for the city T is 160000. Total population of cities 'P' and T is approximately in the ratio of

    A) 2 : 4     

    B)  2 : 3

    C)  3 : 4    

    D)  4 : 5

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Total population below poverty line for city P \[=12%\,\,\text{of}\,\,80000=\frac{12}{100}\times 80000=9600\] \[\therefore \]Number of males below poverty line for city P \[=\frac{3}{5}\times 9600=5760\] Total population below poverty line for city T = 10% of \[160000=\frac{10}{100}\times 160000=16000\] \[\therefore \] Number of males below poverty line for city T \[=\frac{6}{11}\times 16000=8727.2\approx 8727\] \[\therefore \] Required ratio = 2 : 3
