If an area's population increases from 5000 to 6000, what will be the absolute growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 1000

The direct answer is B: the absolute growth is 1000 people. Absolute growth means the actual numerical difference between the new population and the old population. Subtract the initial value from the final value: 6000 − 5000 = 1000. Option B is correct because it gives this difference and the unit is people. Option A is wrong because the difference is not 500. Option C is wrong because 5000 is the initial population, not the amount of growth. Option D is wrong because 6000 is the final population, not the increase. No percentage calculation is needed because the question asks for absolute growth. The word “absolute” is a clue that we need the actual number, not a ratio or percentage. Memory cue: new population minus old population equals absolute growth when the new value is larger.
