The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Population of Rural males (in millions) of age group (5-9) = 39.7

Population of Rural males (in millions) of age group (10-14) = 36.1

The average of Rural Males Population in millions = \(\frac{\text{Total Rural Males}}{2}\)

\(\frac{36.1 + 39.7}{2}\)

= 37.9

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

The Percentage of children in school in category = \(\frac{\text{In school}}{\text{Total Population}} \times 100\)

Urban males (5-9) = \(\frac{84.1}{100} \times 11.3\) = 84.1%

Rural males (5-9) = \(\frac{67.2}{100} \times 69.7\) = 67.2%

Urban females (5-9) = \(\frac{80.1}{100} \times 10.2\) = 80.1%

Rural females (10-14) = \(\frac{55.7}{100} \times 30.3\) = 55.7%

The minimum is Rural females of age group (10-14)
