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.

Density shows the ratio of population and area. Exam tip: use it for regional comparison.
View question detailsDensity depends on both total population and area. Exam tip: do not conclude from a single figure.
View question detailsArunachal Pradesh has very low population density. Exam tip: connect hilly and difficult conditions with the reason.
View question detailsA high-density state has many people living in relation to each square kilometre of land. Bihar is a standard Indian example of a state with very high population density. Its large population is concentrated on comparatively limited land, and much of its settled area supports intensive human activity. Population density is calculated by dividing population by area, so a high population relative to area produces a high value. This is different from simply having a large total area or a large total population.
Option A, Bihar, is correct. Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram generally have much lower densities, partly because of hilly terrain, forested land, and more scattered settlement. Rajasthan has a large area, and its population is spread unevenly, so its overall density is not the best choice here. The question asks for a suitable example of high density, not merely a populous state.
