If an area's population increases from 90 lakh to 99 lakh, what is the absolute increase?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 9 lakh

Direct answer: A, 9 lakh. Absolute increase means the actual numerical change in population, not the final population and not a percentage. Start with the final population, 99 lakh, and subtract the initial population, 90 lakh: 99 lakh - 90 lakh = 9 lakh. Therefore, the population increased by 9 lakh people. Option A is correct because it gives this difference. Option B is wrong because the difference is not 10 lakh. Option C is wrong because adding the two populations, 90 + 99 = 189 lakh, does not measure increase. Option D is wrong because 99 lakh is the final population, not the amount by which it increased. Memory cue: absolute increase means final value minus initial value; always subtract the starting number from the ending number.
