National income of India in 1945 was Rs. 2,200 crores. If the population was 340 million, what is the per‑capita income in rupees (rounded to the nearest rupee)?

Step-by-step solution

1. Convert national income to rupees: $2200\times 10^7=22,000,000,000$ rupees.
2. Convert population to units: $340\times 10^6=340,000,000$ people.
3. Divide income by population: $\frac{22,000,000,000}{340,000,000}=64.7059\dots$
4. Round to nearest rupee: $65$
