13. In what age group is the YPLL for suicide the greatest?

b. 15-24

Explanation / Answer

11) CMR = (Total death due to all cause / Total Population) * 100000
=(146795/17951616) * 100000 = 818(option c)

12) YPLL = (65 - Avg of age group)*Total death due to accident = (65-2.5)*415 = 25938(option d)

13) For 5-14, ypll = (65-10)*29 = 1595
For 15-24, ypll = (65-20) * 351 = 15795

Answer: Optino B(15-24)
