If the population increases from 20 lakh to 25 lakh, what is the absolute increase?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 5 lakh

The direct answer is B: 5 lakh. Absolute increase means the amount added to the original population. Identify the final population, 25 lakh, and the initial population, 20 lakh. Now subtract the initial value from the final value: 25 lakh − 20 lakh = 5 lakh. Therefore, the population has increased by 5 lakh people. Option A is wrong because 3 lakh is not the difference between the two given numbers. Option B is correct because it is the exact numerical increase. Option C is wrong because 20 lakh is the initial population, not the increase. Option D is wrong because 25 lakh is the final population, not the amount added. Do not add the two values or use a percentage when the question asks for absolute increase. Memory cue: new minus old gives the amount of increase.
