Births exceed deaths by 200000 in a country, but net out-migration is also 200000. What will be the total population growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Zero

Total population growth includes both natural increase and net migration. Births exceeding deaths by 200,000 give a natural increase of +200,000. Net out-migration of 200,000 means more people leave than enter, so its contribution is −200,000.

Add the two components: +200,000 + (−200,000) = 0. The natural increase is exactly cancelled by the migration loss, so the total population shows no net change. Therefore option D, zero, is correct. It would be wrong to count the out-migration as an additional increase; leaving the country reduces population and must be represented with a negative sign.
