Question

A survey conducted on an Indian state shows that 1623546 people have only primary education; 9768678 people have secondary education; 6837954 people have higher education and 2684536 people are illiterate. If the number of children below the age of school admission is 698781, find the total population of the state.

Answer 1

People who had only primary education = 1623546
People who had secondary education = 9768678
People who had higher education = 6837954
Illiterate people in the state = 2684536
Children below the age of school admission = 698781
∴ Total population of the state = 1623546 + 9768678 + 6837954 + 2684536 + 698781
= 21613495
