Questions 1-5: Data Interpretation (Population Density & Difference)

Directions: Answer the questions based on the information given below.

The line graph given below shows the population density (in thousands) of five different states and the difference between the number of males and females (in thousands) in those five states.

[Line Graph - Description Below]

Populaton density (Solid line: A ≈16, B ≈24, C ≈12, D ≈18, E ≈10)

Difference between the number of males and females (Dashed line: A ≈20, B ≈−12, C ≈18, D ≈10, E ≈−8)

Note: Population density is defined as the total number of people (males + females) living in per unit land area (km2) of a state and the 'negative' value shows the female population is more than the male population for a state.

Some additional information is also known :

The area of state 'A' is 33.33% more than that of state 'B'. The ratio of the area of state 'B' and that of state 'C' is 1:2 respectively.
