Correct Answer: 1,54,440


Solution : The total population of the given states = 32,76,000
Percentage of population in Bihar = 11%
Population of Bihar = $\frac{11}{100}\times 3276000$
The ratio of males to females = 3 : 4
Fraction of males in population = $\frac{3}{3+4}=\frac{3}{7}$
Number of males in Bihar = $\frac{3}{7}\times \frac{11}{100}\times 3276000$ = 1,54,440
Hence, the correct answer is 1,54,440.
