Directions: Study the following information and answer the questions.
Bihar and Orissa are the most deprived states of India, while they contain 1/5th of India’s population, they have almost 1/3rd of India’s illiterates. In 1998, only a small fraction of Orissa and Bihar’s population was literate versus 85% of Kerala’s population.
More than 2/3rd s of the births are not attended by any medical facility, 1/10th of the infants born in Orissa and in Bihar die in infancy. And an equal number died before reaching the age of 5. Almost 90% of the under-five deaths are due to malnutrition.
From amongst the lucky kids who have survived for the 1st 5 years, 1/3rd of them work as child laborers and only half of the remaining are sent to the school of those who attended classes, only 40% are able to reach standard 5. In India, 30% of the children under 16 work as laborers of which Orissa and Bihar contain 1/3rd of the child laborers in India.

1) According to the information, how many infants in Orissa and Bihar attended standard 5? (Approximately)
A) 11
B) 10
C) 13
