If a country's population rises from 8 million to 9.2 million over ten years, what is the absolute increase?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 1.2 million

Absolute increase is the simple numerical difference between the final population and the initial population. The country begins with 8 million people and ends with 9.2 million people. Therefore, the calculation is \(9.2-8.0=1.2\) million. In Indian numbering, 1.2 million equals 12 lakh, or 1,200,000 people.

Thus option C is correct. The ten-year period does not change the absolute increase; it only tells us how long the change took. The answer is not 0.8 million, because that number is one-tenth of the initial population, and it is not 2 million because that would overstate the difference. The supplied answer and calculation are correct.
