12 lakh
9.6 lakh
9.8 lakh
11.6 lakh

Correct Answer: 12 lakh

Explanation:

let the number of adult men be N.
Then, ratio of the numbers of adult men and adult women
9 : 7 = N : 4.2
⇒ N = (9/7) x 4.2 = 5.4 Lakh
Total adult population = 4.2 + 5.4 = 9.6 lakh.
If the population of the town be M Lakh,
then, 80M/100 = 9.6
⇒ M = (9.6 x 100)/80 = 12 lakh
