If a state has low growth rate but very large base population, how can absolute growth be?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It can still be large

The direct answer is A: absolute growth can still be large. Growth rate is a percentage, while absolute growth is the actual number added. To understand this, multiply the base population by the growth rate. For example, 1% of 1 crore is 1 lakh, which is a large number even though the rate is small. A is correct because a large base can produce many additional people at a low percentage. B is wrong because a low rate is not the same as a zero rate. C is wrong because low positive growth is still positive, not negative. D is wrong because absolute growth can be calculated from the base population and rate. Memory cue: a small percentage of a very large base may be a large number.
