If the population of a region rises from 5 million to 5.2 million, what is the absolute increase?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 200000

Absolute increase means the actual number of people added, not the percentage increase. It is calculated by subtracting the initial population from the final population. Here the population rises from 5 million to 5.2 million, so the difference is \(5.2-5.0=0.2\) million. Since 0.2 million equals 200,000, the correct choice is B: 200,000 people, or 2 lakh.

The final population, 5.2 million, is not itself the increase; it is the total population after growth. Similarly, 100,000 and 500,000 do not equal the difference between the two given values. The calculation concerns only the change during the period: final value minus initial value. Therefore, 2 lakh is the absolute increase.
