Study the data of a State given below and answer the question that follow: If rural children aged 10--14 years are considered, then how many female children are attending school?
Show Hint
In data-based questions, first identify the correct row and then the correct column. Avoid confusing the literacy rate with the percentage of children attending school.
Step 1: Locate the right row.
The question is only about rural children aged 10 to 14, so we look at that specific row of the table, not any other age group. Step 2: Pick out the female figure.
In that row, boys are shown at 85 percent attendance and girls at 82 percent. Step 3: Match to the question.
Since the question asks specifically for female children, the figure we need is 82, not 85. Step 4: Final answer.
The correct option is (C) 82.
