A) 6.8 million
B) 5.6 million
C) 28.4 million
D) 34.7 million
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Per cent of population in the age group 56 yr and above \[=5.12+1.13=6.25\] Now, 6.25% of population \[=10\,\text{million}\] \[\therefore \] Total population \[=\frac{10\times 100}{6.25}\,\text{million}\] \[=160\,\text{million}\]million Difference in per cent of people in the age groups (16-25] and (46-5 5) \[=17.75-14.25\] \[=3.5\] \[\therefore \] The required difference \[=3.5%\text{ of }160\text{ million}\] \[=\frac{3.5\times 160}{100}\,\text{million}\] \[=5.6\,\text{million}\]You need to login to perform this action.
