Question Details

A newly formed state government wants tobring more development in the state. Therefore, the  government proposed to launch various welfare programmes. Before bringing up any welfare programme, the state gtovernment intended to understand the population percentage of the state by age groups, so that the government could plan the welfare programmes accordingly. The state government found that the state’s 30 per cent of the population were children between the age group of 0-15. Next to child population, 17.75 per cent of the population were adolescents between the age group of 16 and 25. The early adult population, i.e., the age groups 26 to 35 were 17.25 per cent, 36 to 45 were 14.50 per cent, respectively. The population who are between the age group of 46 to 55 constitute 14.25 per cent and the elderly population of the state, i.e., 56 to 65 (5.12%) and 66 above (1.13%) was comparatively less than the other age groups. To get a better clarity, the state government concerned is seeking the answers to following questions:

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option D

2674

Solution :

The correct option is 2674.


To find the total number of persons below the age of 26 years out of every 5,600 persons, we first need to identify the relevant age groups and their respective percentages from the provided population data.


Step 1: Identify the percentages for age groups below 26 years:

- Children aged 0 - 15 years = 30%

- Adolescents aged 16 - 25 years = 17.75%


Step 2: Calculate the total percentage of population below 26 years:

Total Percentage=30%+17.75%=47.75%


Step 3: Calculate the number of persons below 26 years out of a total population of 5,600:

Number of Persons=47.75%×5600


Number of Persons=47.75100×5600


Number of Persons=47.75×56


Number of Persons=2674


Therefore, out of every 5,600 persons, there are 2,674 persons below the age of 26 years.
