| A | 25 | 3 : 4 | 4 : 3 |
| B | 60 | 2 : 4 | 1 : 2 |
| C | 15 | 4 : 5 | 3 : 1 |
If the total population of state B is 3000, then what is the number of girls below the poverty line in state B?
Option 1: 1200
Option 2: 700
Option 3: 650
Option 4: 720
Correct Answer: 1200
Solution :
Given: The total population of state B is 3000.
Population under the poverty line in state B = 3000 × $\frac{60}{100}$ = 1800
So, the required number of girls = 1800 × $\frac{4}{2+4}$ = 1200
Hence, the correct answer is 1200.
