India 450,000"Calculating India's Population: Logic & Facts

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating India's population using a logic-based approach derived from the number of letters in country names. Participants analyze a pattern where populations correlate with the letter count: 3 letters = 130,000, 4 letters = 200,000, 5 letters = 270,000, 6 letters = either 300,000 or 340,000, and 7 letters = 410,000. The increments between populations are consistently 70,000, with Greece being an exception due to its vowel count. The formula proposed for calculating population is (xc + yv), where c represents consonants, v represents vowels, x is the price per consonant, and y is the price per vowel.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic algebraic expressions
  • Familiarity with vowel and consonant classification in linguistics
  • Knowledge of population statistics and their representation
  • Ability to identify patterns in numerical data
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the mathematical principles behind population estimation techniques
  • Research linguistic patterns in naming conventions across different languages
  • Investigate statistical methods for analyzing demographic data
  • Learn about the implications of population data on economic and social policies
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, linguists, statisticians, and anyone interested in demographic analysis and the logic behind population calculations.

How many people are living in India?
With the help of following data can you find
How many people were listed as living in India and give logic also ?
.

The population of some countries is calculated based upon some logic and listed here ( It has no link with the facts) :-

.

USA 130,000
England 410,000
France 340,000
Peru 200,000
Brazil 340,000
Greece 300,000
Japan 270,000

At a quick glance, it appears to have something to do with the number of letters, since:

3 letters = 130,000
4 letters = 200,000
5 letters = 270,000
6 letters = 300,000 or 340,000
7 letters = 410,000

And there's something also with increments of 70,000, since the differences between nations are always in increments of 70,000 with the exception of Greece. Greece is the only one with 3 vowels instead of 2, but otherwise I see nothing particularly interesting about it.

Hmm...

Well Analysed and tried! Please give answer also.
 
340,000?

Correct.

Correct.


so how do you arrive at this number ?

Let Mr Ygggdrasil explain.
Otherwise I shall explain.

The price is (xc + yv) where c is the number of consonants in the word, x is the price per consonant, v is the number of vowels in the word, and y is the price per vowel. x and y can be easily determined from the given data.
