If an area had earlier population of ten lakh and current population of twelve lakh, what is the absolute growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Two lakh

Answer: A, the absolute growth is two lakh. Absolute growth is the actual numerical increase in population, so use the formula: current population − earlier population. Here, 12 lakh − 10 lakh = 2 lakh. This calculation does not express a percentage; it gives the number of additional people. A is correct because it is the difference between the two population figures. B is wrong because 10 lakh is the earlier population, not the increase. C is wrong because 12 lakh is the current population, not the amount added. D is wrong because adding the two populations, 10 lakh + 12 lakh, does not measure growth. If the current population were smaller than the earlier population, the result would be a negative change, showing a decline. Memory cue: absolute growth means “how many more,” so subtract the old value from the new value.
