If a large state has a low growth rate but a very large base population, what is possible?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Absolute growth can still be very large

Correct answer: C, absolute growth can still be very large. Growth rate is a percentage, while absolute growth is the actual number added to the population. To calculate the approximate increase, multiply the base population by the growth rate expressed as a decimal. For example, 1% of 10 crore is 10 lakh, which is a large addition even though 1% is a low rate. Option A is wrong because a low rate does not make the increase zero; it would be zero only if there were no net increase. Option B is wrong because a positive growth rate still means an increase, not a decline. Option D is wrong because the rate remains useful for comparing population change. Memory cue: percentage tells the speed; the base tells the size of the actual increase.
