Correct Answer: 1,10,000


Solution : The total mobile-addicted population in Chennai is 2,00,000 and the ratio of males to females is 11 : 9.
To find the number of addicted males, we first find the total parts in the ratio = 11 (for males) + 9 (for females) = 20 parts.
Each part is therefore equal to the total population divided by the total parts = $\frac{2,00,000}{20}$ = 10,000.
The number of addicted males in Chennai = 11 parts × 10,000 = 1,10,000
Hence, the correct answer is 1,10,000.
