If population grows by 8 percent while total energy production grows by 12 percent, what happens to energy availability per person if other conditions remain unchanged?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It will increase

Per-person availability is found by comparing the total amount with the number of people sharing it. Here, energy production rises by 12 percent, while population rises by only 8 percent. Since the supply grows faster than the population, the amount available on average for each person increases, assuming other relevant conditions remain broadly unchanged.

A simple index calculation makes this clear. Start with production of 100 units and a population of 100 people, giving 1 unit per person. After the changes, production is 112 units and population is 108 people. The new average is approximately \(112/108\), which is greater than 1. Therefore option B follows. This does not mean everyone receives equal energy or that shortages disappear; it describes the average availability.
