A country records 1 million births, 700000 deaths and net out-migration of 400000. What will happen to its population?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Decrease of 100000

Population change comes from natural increase plus net migration. Natural increase is births minus deaths. Net out-migration means more people leave than enter, so it is represented as a negative migration value. Both effects must be combined with their signs rather than treated as positive quantities.

Natural increase is \(1000000-700000=300000\). Including net out-migration gives \(300000-400000=-100000\). Therefore, the population decreases by 100000, or 1 lakh, and option A is correct. The 3-lakh natural increase alone would be correct only if migration were ignored.
