Question 1:
From the Given Census, Calculate the Total Number of Population of Children in the Years 2011 and 2001.
Answer 1:
Step 1:In the year 2011.
Number of male children = 10,75,440
Number of female children = 9,37,014
Total number of children = 10,75,440 + 9,37,014
10,75,440
+ 9,37,014
⁄
20,12,454
Therefore, there were Twenty lakh twelve thousand four hundred and fifty-four children in 2011.
Step 2:In the year 2011.
Number of male children = 10,79,618
Number of female children = 9,37,231
Total number of children = 10,79,618 + 9,37,231
10,75,440
+ 9,37,231
⁄
20,16,849
Therefore, there were Twenty lakh sixteen thousand eight hundred and forty-nine children in 2001.
Question 2:
In Which Year Did the Children Population Were Less and by How Much?
Answer 2:
Number of children population in the year 2011 = 20,12,454
Number of children population in the year 2001 = 20,16,849
As 20,12,454 < 20,16,849, the children population was less in 2011.
Subtract 20,12,454 from 20,16,849 to get the difference.
20,16,849
- 20,12,454
⁄
4,395
Hence, the year 2011 has Four thousand three hundred ninety-five fewer children population than the year 2001.
Question 3:
How Many Female Literates Were There in the Years 2011 and 2001?
Answer 3:
Step 1:In the year 2011.
Total number of literates = 1,27,37,767
Number of male literates = 71,94,856
Number of female literates = 1,27,37,767 – 71,94,856
1,27,37,767
- 71,94,856
⁄
55,42,911
Therefore, there were Fifty-five lakh forty-two thousand nine hundred eleven female literates in 2011.
Step 2:In the year 2011.
Total number of literates = 96,64,764
Number of male literates = 57,00,847
Number of female literates = 96,64,764 – 57,00,847
96,64,764
- 57,00,847
⁄
39,63,917
Therefore, there were Thirty-nine lakh sixty-three thousand nine hundred seventeen female literates in 2001.
Question 4:
How Many Illiterates Were There in the Year 2001?
Answer 4:
Step 1:
Number of male populations = 76,07,234
Number of female populations = 62,43,273
Total population = 76,07,234 + 62,43,273
76,07,234
+ 62,43,273
⁄
1,38,50,507
Step 2:
Total number of populations = 1,38,50,507
Total number literates = 96,64,764
Number of illiterates = 1,38,50,507 – 96,64,764
1,38,50,507
- 96,64,764
⁄
41,85,743
Hence, there were Forty-one lakh eighty-five thousand seven hundred forty-three illiterates in 2001.
