If population grows by 9 percent while total food production grows by only 6 percent, what happens to food availability per person if other conditions remain unchanged?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It will decrease

Per-person food availability depends on total food divided by total population. If population grows faster than food production, the numerator increases less than the denominator. Assuming food distribution, imports, storage, and other conditions do not offset this difference, less food will be available for each person on average.

For illustration, take initial population and food as 100 units each. After the changes, population is 109 and food is 106. Per-person availability changes from \(100/100=1\) to \(106/109\), which is less than 1. Therefore, per-capita food availability decreases, so option B is correct.
