If in state E population of females above poverty line is 19800 then what is the population of males below poverty line in that state?
Options:
A) 5500
B) 3000
C) 2970
D) Data inadequate
E) None of these
Solution:

Population of state E = 19800 \(\left ( \cfrac {5}{2} \right )\)\(\left ( \cfrac {100}{100 - 10} \right )\) = 55000

∴ Population of males below poverty line = 55000 \(\left ( \cfrac {10}{100} \right )\) \(\left ( \cfrac {6}{11} \right )\) = 3000
