If the population of males below poverty line for State Q is 2.4 million and that for State T is 6 million, then the total populations of States Q and T are in the ratio?
A:
1:3
B:
2:5
C:
3:7
D:
4:9
Answer: B

For State Q:

Male population below poverty line = 2.4 million.

Let the female population below poverty line be x million.

Then, 3 : 5 = 2.4 : x     =>     x = 5 x 2.4 = 4.
3

Therefore Total population below poverty line = (2.4 + 4) = 6.4 million.

If Nq be the total population of State Q, then,

25% of Nq = 6.4 million     =>     Nq = ( 6.4 x 100 ) million = 25.6 million.
25

For State T:

Male population below poverty line = 6 million.

Let the female population below poverty line be y million.

Then, 5 : 3 = 6 : y     =>     y = 3 x 6 = 3.6.
5

Therefore Total population below poverty line = (6 + 3.6) = 9.6 million.

If Nt be the total population of State T, then,

15% of Nt = 9.6 million     =>     Nt = ( 9.6 x 100 ) million = 64 million.
15

Thus, Required ratio = Nq = 25.6 = 0.4 = 2 .
Nt 64 5

What will be the male population above poverty line for State P if the female population below poverty line for State P is 2.1 million?
A:
2.1 million
B:
2.3 million
C:
2.7 million
D:
3.3 million
Answer: D

Female population below poverty line for State P = 2.1 million

Let the male population below poverty line for State P be x million.

Then, 5 : 6 = x : 21     =>     x = 2.1 x 5 = 1.75.
6

Therefore Population below poverty line for State P = (2.1 + 1.75) million = 3.85 million.

Let the population above poverty line for State P by y million.

Since, 35% of the total population of State P is below poverty line, therefore, 65% of the total population of State P is above poverty line i.e., the ratio of population below poverty line to that above poverty line for State P is 35 : 65.

Therefore 35 : 65 = 3.85 : y     =>     y = 65 x 3.85 = 7.15.
35

Therefore Population above poverty line for State P = 7.15 million and so, male population above poverty line for State P

    = ( 6 x 7.15 ) million
13

    = 3.3 million.

What will be the number of females above the poverty line in the State S if it is known that the population of State S is 7 million?
A:
3 million
B:
2.43 million
C:
1.33 million
D:
5.7 million
Answer: B

Total population of State S = 7 million.

Therefore Population above poverty line

    = [(100 - 19)% of 7] million

    = (81% of 7) million

    = 5.67 million.

And so, the number of females above poverty line in State S

    = ( 3 x 5.67 ) million
7

    = 2.43 million.

If the male population above poverty line for State R is 1.9 million, then the total population of State R is?
A:
4.5 million
B:
4.85 million
C:
5.35 million
D:
6.25 million
Answer: D

Let the total population of State R be x million.

Then, population of State R above poverty line

    = [(100 - 24)% of x] million

    = ( 76 x x ) million
100

And so, male population of State R above poverty line

    = [ 2 x ( 76 x x ) ] million
5 100

But, it is given that male population of State R above poverty line = 1.9 million.

Therefore 2 x ( 76 x x ) = 1.9     =>     x = 5 x 100 x 1.9 = 6.25.
5 100 76 x 2

Therefore Total population of State R = 6.25 million.

During the period between 1995 and 2000, the total number of Operators who left the Company is what percent of total number of Operators who joined the Company?
A:
19%
B:
21%
C:
27%
D:
29%
Answer: D

Total number of Operators who left the Company during 1995 - 2000

    = (104 + 120 + 100 + 112 + 144)

    = 580.

Total number of Operators who joined the Company during 1995 - 2000

    = (880 + 256 + 240 + 208 + 192 + 248)

    = 2024.

Therefore Required Percentage = ( 580 x 100 ) % = 28.66% ~= 29%.
2024
