Answer 2

The required correct option is Option D: 22%

Explanation:

The poverty percentage of the year 2011-12 was 21.9% which can be rounded off to 22%. There is a steep decline in the percentage when compared with the past years. The poverty ratio used to be at its peak during post-independence period with a value of 56%. Later on, from the 1993-2005 period, a steady decline was observed in the poverty ratios with a decrease of about 677 million. In the year 2011-12, the average annual decline rose upto 2.2%.

→ Poverty is always greater in rural areas.

→ It is believed that if the ratio keeps on decreasing at a steady pace, the poverty ratio will be lesser than 20% in the coming decades.
