Solution:

Concept:

The problem requires finding the difference between the number of males below the poverty line and females above the poverty line, using given percentages and ratios of the total population.

Explanation:

Total population = 70 lakh = 70,00,000.

Percentage below poverty line = 16%, so above poverty line = 84%.

Males below poverty line = 16% of total × (5/8) =

\frac{16}{100} \times 70,00,000 \times \frac{5}{8} = 7,00,000

Females above poverty line = 84% of total × (3/7) =

\frac{84}{100} \times 70,00,000 \times \frac{3}{7} = 25,20,000

Difference = 25,20,000 − 7,00,000 = 18,20,000 = 18.2 lakh.

Answer:

A. 18.2 lakh
