If a country's population increases from 100 million to 105 million, what is the absolute population growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 5 million

Absolute population growth is the actual numerical change in population, not the percentage change. It is found by subtracting the initial population from the final population. Here the initial population is 100 million and the final population is 105 million, so the difference is \(105-100=5\) million.

In Indian counting units, 100 million equals 10 crore and 5 million equals 0.5 crore, or 50 lakh. Therefore, the absolute growth is 0.5 crore, making option A correct. The final population of 105 million is not the amount of growth; it is the total population after the increase. Percentage growth would be a different calculation, but the question asks only for the absolute increase.
