Answer 1

Answer:

27 %

Step-by-step explanation:

total population of village Mahuranipur is 3550

Below Poverty in  Mahuranipur= (36/100) * 3550 = 1278

The total population of Mahuranipur is 11 % less than the total population of

Shujalpur S - (11/100)S = 0.89S = 3550

=>  total population of Shujalpur = 3989

Below Poverty  in Shujalpur = (29/100)*3989  = 1157

In Murena the people living below poverty line = 1157 + 40 = 1197

which is 40% of the total population of this village.

=>  total population of Murena = 2993

average population of Tamot and Tikamgarh = average population of Shujalpur and Murena = (3989 + 2993)/2 = 6982/2 = 3491

Tamot +  Tikamgarh = 6982

Tikamgarh - Tamot = 1800

=>  Tikamgarh total Population = 4391

      Tamot  total Population = 2591

47% of the population of Tamot is below poverty line

Tamot below poverty line = 1218

Total Poulation = 3550 + 3989 + 2993 + 4391 + 2591  = 17514

46% of the population of all villages' together lives below

poverty line = (46/100) * 17514  = 8056

1278 + 1157 + 1197 + 1218 + Tikamgarh below Poverty = 8056

=> Tikamgarh below Poverty = 3206

Tikamgarh lives above poverty line = 4391 - 3206  = 1185

percent of population of Tikamgarh lives above poverty line = (1185/4391) * 100 = 27 %
