Directions: Study the following information and answer the questions.<\/p>

Bihar and Orissa are the most deprived states of India, while they contain 1\/5th of India\u2019s population, they have almost 1\/3rd of India\u2019s illiterates. In 1998, only a small fraction of Orissa and Bihar\u2019s population was literate versus 85% of Kerala\u2019s population.<\/p>

More than 2\/3rd s of the births are not attended by any medical facility, 1\/10th of the infants born in Orissa and in Bihar die in infancy. And an equal number died before reaching the age of 5. Almost 90% of the under-five deaths are due to malnutrition.<\/p>

From amongst the lucky kids who have survived for the 1st 5 years, 1\/3rd of them work as child laborers and only half of the remaining are sent to the school of those who attended classes, only 40% are able to reach standard 5. In India, 30% of the children under 16 work as laborers of which Orissa and Bihar contain 1\/3rd of the child laborers in India. India has the largest population of child laborers, which is 1\/15th of its total populations<\/p>

In Orissa and Bihar, out of 100 children enrolled in school, 32 are girls. And out of 100 who attended standard 10, only 10 are girls. Only 38 out of 100 Indian women are literate versus 57 % of males. Even in wealthy states such as Punjab girls suffer from malnutrition 7 times more than boys do. The total population of the country was 90 Crore in 1998. And the ratio of male to female in India was 10:9<\/p>

1) According to the information, how many infants in Orissa and Bihar attended standard 5? (Approximately)<\/p>

Sol:<\/p>

If Born = 100 <\/p>

If 10 die in infancy,, then total children = (100-10) <\/p>

=90 <\/p>

If 10 die till age 5, then total children =80 <\/p>

1\/3rd of them work as child laborers and only half <\/p>

of the remaining are sent to school. <\/p>

Total Children are going to school= 2\/3 *1\/2 *80 <\/p>

Children attended standard 5 = 80*1\/3 <\/p>

*0.4=10(Approximately)<\/p>

The number of child laborers in India = (90*1\/15)=6 Crore<\/p>

Sol:<\/p>

We know that, out of 100 born, 20 die by the age of 5. <\/p>
