If 70 percent of a country's population is of working age and total population is 120 million, what is the working-age population?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 84 million

The working-age population is the stated percentage of the whole population. To find a percentage of a total, multiply the total by the percentage written as a fraction of 100. This gives the number of people in the selected age group, not the percentage itself. The result can be expressed in both crore and million so that the units remain clear.

Here, 70 percent of 120 million is calculated as \(120\times70/100=84\) million. Since 1 crore equals 10 million, 84 million equals 8.4 crore. Therefore, option B is correct. A result such as 72 million would represent 60 percent, while 90 million would represent 75 percent, so those choices do not match the given 70 percent.
