A: 50%; 27.5; 20; 110; 0.058

B: 50%; 27.5; 13.75; 110; 0.038

C. 50%; 20; 13.75; 80; 0.038

D. 50%; 27.5; 16.75; 140; 0.068

Answer 1

PG = poverty line income - average income

= 200 - (150+140+210+220) / 4

= 200 - 180

= 20

TPG = 4 individual total Poverty line Income - 4 individuals incomes

= 800 - 150 - 140 - 220 - 210

= 80

Since there's only one answer with PG=20 and TPG= 80

Hence, Answer: C. 50%; 20; 13.75; 80; 0.038
