If there are 22 million people below 36 years, then the number of people (in millions) in the age group (56 - 65) is:

A. 5 millions

B. 5.5 millions

C. 3 millions

D. 3.5 millions

Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Percentage of people below 36 years
= (20 + 18.25 + 16.75)%
= 55%
55% = 22 millions
$$\eqalign{ & 1\% = \frac{22}{55} \cr & 12.5\% = \frac{22}{55} \times 12.5 \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 5 \text{ millions} \cr}$$
