let us assume Population====>100
10% is the total Rise
hence it will be 110 in 1991
now in 1980 10% were lawyers====>10 lawyers
now they increased with 20%
hence there will be 12 lawyers in 1991
we dont have any data regarding labor force hence all the options can be rejected right away.
but i have a doubt regarding option E
in 1980 10% of the population is lawyer
but in 1991 10.91% of the population is lawyer hence there is an increase in proportion of lawyers in the general population.
someone kindly have a look at it

Hi @shubham2312 As you have already mentioned that the population of lawyers in the general population has increased . This increase in population of lawyers contradicts the option E.
