If previous population is ten lakh and current population is twelve lakh, what is the absolute growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Two lakh

Direct answer: A, two lakh. Absolute growth is calculated by subtracting the previous population from the current population. Step 1: identify the current population, 12 lakh. Step 2: identify the previous population, 10 lakh. Step 3: subtract: 12 lakh − 10 lakh = 2 lakh. Thus, the population increased by two lakh people. Option A is correct because it is the actual difference between the two populations. Option B is wrong because it merely repeats the previous population. Option C is wrong because it repeats the current population, not the increase. Option D is wrong because it adds the two values, 10 lakh + 12 lakh = 22 lakh; growth is found by difference, not by adding both totals. The question asks for absolute growth, not percentage growth, so no division or multiplication by 100 is needed. Memory cue: current minus previous gives absolute increase.
