In this Class 9 Geography topic from the chapter Population, students learn how population density measures the number of people living in a unit area, usually per square kilometre. They explore the population-density formula, interpret maps and data, and compare densely and sparsely populated regions. The topic also explains how relief, climate, soil, water availability, transport, industries and employment influence settlement patterns and the distribution of population in India and around the world.

Question 1MediumLevel 82
If an area has population of ten lakh and area of two thousand five hundred square kilometres, what will be the density?
Correct answer: B
Population density is calculated by dividing the total population by the total area: \\(\text{density}=\frac{\text{population}}{\text{area}}\\). Here, ten lakh means 1,000,000 people, and the area is 2,500 square kilometres. The calculation is \\(1{,}000{,}000 \div 2{,}500=400\\). Therefore, the area has an average of 400 people living in each square kilometre. The unit must be written as persons per square kilometre because the population is divided by an area measurement.
Option B is correct: 400 persons per square kilometre. A quick check is that \\(2{,}500 \times 400=1{,}000{,}000\\), which returns the given population. Option A would result from an incorrect division, while options C and D are too high for the stated values. Careful conversion of ten lakh into 1,000,000 and correct division lead directly to the answer.
If Region A has density of eight hundred and Region B has density of two hundred persons per square kilometre, which area has more people per unit area?
Correct answer: A
Density of eight hundred is higher than two hundred, so Region A has more people per unit area. Exam tip: compare numbers carefully.
If tourism and jobs increase in an area, what possible effect will it have on density?
Correct answer: A
Population density is the number of people living per unit area. Tourism-related hotels, transport, and other services, along with new jobs, can attract people to settle in the area for work. If the population rises, density may increase. Option D is incorrect because an increase in tourism or employment does not necessarily increase the area of land. Exam tip: remember employment, education, and health facilities as population pull factors.
