If an area's earlier population was twenty lakh and current population is twenty-four lakh, what is the absolute growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Four lakh

Direct answer: Option B, four lakh, is correct. Absolute growth means the actual numerical increase between two population counts. Use the current population minus the earlier population: 24 lakh − 20 lakh = 4 lakh. No percentage calculation is needed because the question asks for an absolute number. Option A, two lakh, results from an incorrect subtraction. Option B is the difference and therefore the correct answer. Option C is only the earlier population, not the increase. Option D is the current population, not the amount by which it increased. The word “absolute” is important: it asks for the number added, whereas percentage growth would compare that increase with the earlier population. Memory cue: for absolute growth, always perform current minus previous.
