UPSC CAPF – 2012

The percentage of villages electrified in State D is 30%. Twice this percentage is 2 * 30% = 60%. We need to find which state from the options (A, C, E, F) has a percentage of 60%. According to the data, State A has 75%, State C has 65%, State E has 50%, and State F has 90%. None of the states have exactly 60%. State C (65%) is numerically closest to 60%. Given that the official answer key specifies option B (State C) as correct, it implies that 65% was considered the correct answer, possibly due to an approximation intended or a slight error in the data/options. Mathematically, 65% is not twice 30%.

Calculate the target percentage (twice that of State D) and compare it to the electrification percentages of the states listed in the options.

This question highlights a potential discrepancy where the exact mathematical condition (“twice”) is not met by any option, and the intended answer likely corresponds to the closest value or a potentially erroneous data point/question.
