| No. of persons ('000) | No of Deaths | No. of persons ('000) | No. of Deaths | |
| 0 - 15 | 1 | 20 | 2 | 50 |

Solution
| Age group ( in years ) |
District A | District B | ||
| No. of persons ('000) | No of Deaths | No. of persons ('000) | No. of Deaths | |
| 0 - 15 | 1 | 20 | 2 | 50 |
| 15 - 60 | 3 | 30 | 7 | 70 |
| 60 and above | 2 | 40 | 1 | 25 |
| Total | 6 | 90 | 10 | 145 |
( CDR )A = `( ∑D_A )/( ∑P_A ) xx 1000`
= `90/6000 xx 1000`
= 15 per thousand
( CDR )B = `( ∑D_B )/( ∑P_B ) xx 1000`
= `145/10000 xx 1000`
= 14.5 per thousand
As ( CDR )A > ( CDR )B
∴ district B is more healthy.
