Poverty line may be defined as a level of personal or family income or expenditure below which one is classified as poor according to governmental standards. Different countries adopt different methodologies for the estimation of the poverty line. Poverty line estimation in India is based on the consumption expenditure and not on the income levels. Hence, Statement 1 is incorrect.

The concept of poverty line in India was first propounded by Dadabhai Naroji. In his book, 'Poverty and Unbritish Rule in India', he made the earliest estimation of the poverty line. The poverty line proposed by him was based on the cost of a subsistence or minimum basic diet. Hence, Statement 2 is incorrect.

Calculation:

Production of raw wool in 2013-14 = 56

Production of raw wool in 2014-15 = 51

Percentage decrease = [(56 – 51)/56] × 100

⇒ [5/56] × 100

⇒ 8.92%

The production of raw wool in 2017-18 = 76

The production of raw wool in 2018-19 = 58

Percentage decrease = [(76 – 58)/76] × 100

⇒ [18/76] × 100

⇒ 23.68% ≈ 24%

∴ The maximum percentage decrease of production over the previous year was in the year 2018-19

Calculation:

The total production during the eight years = (56 + 51 + 53 + 65 + 76 + 58 + 68 + 73)

⇒ 500

Average of total production = (500/8)

⇒ 62.5

∴ Required average is 62.5 MT

Calculation:

Production of last four years = (76 + 58 + 68 + 73)

⇒ 275

Production of first four years = (56 + 51 + 53 + 65)

⇒ 225

Difference in Production = (Production of last four years – Production of first four years)

⇒ (275 – 225)

⇒ 50

Required production percentage = (50/225 × 100)

⇒ 22.22 ≈ 22.2

∴ Required production percentage is 22.2
