What percentage of Pakistan's people were Bengalis?

Think it through first, then pick an option.

  1. a 50 percent
  2. b 52 percent
  3. c 54 percent
  4. d 56 percent
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: d 56 percent

56 percent of Pakistan's total population spoke Bangla.

Why the other options are wrong

  • a 50 percent: Not 50; the book says 56 percent of Pakistan's people spoke Bangla.
  • b 52 percent: '52' recalls the movement's year, but the correct share is 56 percent.
  • c 54 percent: '54' recalls the Jukto Front election year; the correct share is 56 percent.
