An area's population rose from 5000 to 5500 and another from 500 to 700 in which is percentage growth higher?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: दूसरे क्षेत्र में

The direct answer is B. Percentage growth compares the increase with the original, or base, population. For the first area, the numerical increase is 5,500 − 5,000 = 500. Its percentage growth is 500 ÷ 5,000 × 100 = 10%. For the second area, the increase is 700 − 500 = 200. Its percentage growth is 200 ÷ 500 × 100 = 40%. Although the first area gained more people in absolute numbers, the second area grew by a larger percentage because its original population was much smaller. A is wrong because it confuses absolute increase with percentage growth. C is wrong because 10% and 40% are not equal. D is wrong because both populations increased. Memory cue: percentage growth always uses the starting population as the denominator; do not compare only the number of people added.
