If population increases from 120 lakh to 132 lakh what is the percentage growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 10 percent

Direct answer: Option B, 10 percent, is correct. Use the percentage-growth formula: percentage growth = (increase ÷ original population) × 100. The original population is 120 lakh and the new population is 132 lakh. Step 1: find the absolute increase: 132 − 120 = 12 lakh. Step 2: divide the increase by the original value: 12 ÷ 120 = 0.10. Step 3: multiply by 100: 0.10 × 100 = 10 percent. Option A is wrong because 5 percent would represent only 6 lakh growth from 120 lakh. Option C confuses the new figure’s 132 with a percentage. Option D uses an incorrect denominator or calculation. Memory cue: always divide the increase by the starting population, not the final population.
