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?
4.7
2:5
3:7
4:9
1:3
Male population below poverty line = 2.4 million ‘
So female =
Total population below poverty = 4 + 2.4 = 6.4
25% = 6.4
So 100 % = 25.6 million
For state T
Male population below poverty line = 6 million
So female =
Total population below poverty = 6 + 3.6 = 9.6
15% = 9.6 million
So 100 % =
Required ratio =
2:5
