36 – 60
61 and above
Under population;
15,000
11,000
25,000
9,000
Total 60,000
Under sectoral angles
15000/60000*360°=90°
11000/60000*360°=66°
25000/60000*360°=150°
9000/60000*360°=54°
Draw the chart:
18-35years
0-17years
36-60years
61and above Years
(1ii)
Dependency ratio
=(0-17years) + (61and above Years)/(18-35)+(36-60)
=15000+9000/11000+25000
