Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To determine which region showed the highest growth in the number of households in all income categories, we need to consider the percentage growth in each region for the three categories (middle income, upper-middle income, and high income).
From the bar chart, we can see that South has the highest percentage growth in all three categories:
- For the middle income category, the growth is over 300%.
- For the upper-middle income category, the growth is also the highest in South.
- For the high income category, South again has the highest growth.
Thus, the correct answer is South.

Answer 2

The total household income for the northern region (upper-middle income) can be calculated using the given data: - Number of households in 1987-88 = 10,000 (in thousands) - Average household income = Rs. 50,000 \[ \text{Total household income} = 10,000 \times 50,000 = 500,000,000 \text{ or } 500 \text{ million} \] Thus, the total household income is Rs. 500 million.

Answer 3

The percentage increase in total number of households cannot be determined directly from the given data, as we do not have information about the number of households in 1994-95. Hence, the correct answer is "Cannot be determined."

Answer 4

The average household income of the high-income group in 1987-88 is provided directly in the table: \[ \text{Average income of high-income group} = Rs. 75,000 \] Thus, the correct answer is Rs. 75,000.
