What is the total rural population of State A and State C together?
Answer: C
We need to calculate the rural population for each state and then add them.
State A: Total Population = 20 million. Rural Population % = 60%.
Rural Population = 60% of 20 million = 0.60 * 20 = 12 million.
State C: Total Population = 30 million. Rural Population % = 45%.
Rural Population = 45% of 30 million = 0.45 * 30 = 13.5 million.
Total Rural Population (A + C) = 12 + 13.5 = 25.5 million.
