What is the difference between growth rate and absolute growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Rate shows percentage and absolute growth shows actual number

Direct answer: A. Absolute growth tells us the actual numerical change, usually found by subtracting the earlier population from the later population. For example, a change from 50 lakh to 60 lakh is an absolute growth of 10 lakh. Growth rate expresses the change relative to a base population, commonly as a percentage over a specified period. Thus two areas may have the same absolute increase but different rates if their starting populations differ. Option A is correct. B is wrong because neither term means only birth rate. C is wrong because these are population measures, not area. D is wrong because both can be calculated. Memory cue: absolute growth is a number; growth rate is a proportion or percentage.
