Answer 1

Let total population of India be x

15.5% of x live in UP
and population of UP is 20.2 Crores
=>15.5 * (x/100)= 20.2 Crores
=> (31/200) * x = 20.2 Crores
=> x = (200/31) * 20.2 Crores
=> x= 130.33 Crores

•°• Population of India = 130.33 Crores

3.6% of x live in Himachal pradesh
population of Himachal pradesh = (3.6 *130.33 Crores)/100
= 4.69 Crores

•°• Population of Himachal pradesh = 4.69 Crores.
