In which situation can growth rate be low but absolute increase remain large?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When the base population is very large

Correct answer: A. Growth rate is a percentage, while absolute increase is the actual number added. The basic calculation is: absolute increase = base population × growth rate. For example, 2% of 1 crore is 2 lakh, whereas 2% of 1 lakh is only 2,000. Thus, a low percentage can still produce a large numerical increase when the starting population is very large. B is not necessarily correct because having no births does not by itself tell us the total change; deaths and migration also matter. C is wrong because a zero population cannot produce a large increase under the stated idea. D is irrelevant because area disappearing does not define population growth. Memory cue: percentage is the rate; the starting number determines how large the actual addition becomes.
