Which state has the highest percentage of people below the poverty line in the urban sector?
A
Manipur
B
Bihar
C
Chhattisgarh
D
Jharkhand
Correct Option:
A
Explanation
This question specifically says urban sector. Under the Planning Commission's 2011–12 Tendulkar estimates, urban poverty was about 32.6% in Manipur, versus 31.23% in Bihar, 24.75% in Chhattisgarh and 24.83% in Jharkhand. Chhattisgarh had the higher overall poverty ratio, which is probably the source of confusion in some answer keys.
