What is obtained by subtracting the old population from the new population in population growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Absolute growth

The correct answer is A: absolute growth. Absolute growth is the actual numerical increase or decrease in population during a stated period. The calculation is: absolute growth = new population − old population. For example, if a district has 50 lakh people at the beginning and 56 lakh at the end, its absolute growth is 6 lakh people. The values must use the same unit. Option A is correct because subtraction gives the actual difference in population, not a rate or ratio. Option B is wrong because density requires population divided by area. Option C is wrong because sex ratio compares the numbers of females and males according to the stated convention. Option D is wrong because death rate measures deaths in relation to population and time; it is not found by subtracting two population totals. Also, a negative result would show an absolute decline rather than an increase. Memory cue: new minus old tells the numerical change.
