Let the total population of State R be x million.
Then, population of State R above poverty line
= [(100 - 24)% of x] million

And so, male population of State R above poverty line

But, it is given that male population of State R above poverty line = 1.9 million.

∴  Total population of State R = 6.25 million.

Female population below poverty line for State P = 2.1 million
Let the male population below poverty line for State P be x million.

∴ Population below poverty line for State P = (2.1 + 1.75) million = 3.85 million.
Let the population above poverty line for State P by y million.
Since, 35% of the total population of State P is below poverty line, therefore, 65% of the total population of State P is above poverty line i.e., the ratio of population below poverty line to that above poverty line for State P is 35 : 65.

∴ Population above poverty line for State P = 7.15 million and so, male population above poverty line for State P

Total population of State S = 7 million.
Therefore Population above poverty line
= [(100 - 19)% of 7] million
= (81% of 7) million
= 5.67 million.
And so, the number of females above poverty line in State S

For State Q:
Male population below poverty line = 2.4 million.
Let the female population below poverty line be x million.

∴ Total population below poverty line = (2.4 + 4) = 6.4 million.
If N_q be the total population of State Q, then,
25% of N_q = 6.4 million

For State T:
Male population below poverty line = 6 million.
Let the female population below poverty line be y million.
Then, 5 : 3 = 6 : y

∴ Total population below poverty line = (6 + 3.6) = 9.6 million.
If N_t be the total population of State T, then,
15% of N_t = 9.6 million

Thus, Required ratio
