उत्तर
(i) The percentage of the youngest age group persons over those in the oldest age group
= `1400/300 × 100`
= 466 `2/3`
(ii) Total population of the town
=1400 +1200+1100+1000+900+800+300
=6700.
(iii) The number of persons in the age group of 60- 65 is 800.
(iv) The number of persons are more in the age group 10-15 than in the age group
=30-35 =1400-1100 = 300.
(v) The age group in which exactly 1200 persons living in the town is 20-25
(vi) The total number of persons living in the town in the age-group 50-55 is 900.
(vii) The total number of persons living in the town in the age group 10 to 15 and
60-65 =1400+800
= 2,200
(viii) The population decreases with the increase in the group.
