If an area's previous population was sixty lakh and current population is sixty nine lakh, what is the absolute growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Nine lakh

The direct answer is A: nine lakh. Absolute growth means the actual numerical increase in population. It is found by subtracting the previous population from the current population. Write the values in the same unit: current population = 69 lakh and previous population = 60 lakh. Now subtract: 69 lakh − 60 lakh = 9 lakh. Therefore, the absolute growth is 9 lakh people. Option A is correct because it gives the difference between the two populations. Option B is only the previous population, not the increase. Option C is the current population itself, not the amount added. Option D comes from adding 60 lakh and 69 lakh, but absolute growth requires subtraction, not addition. Do not confuse absolute growth with growth rate: absolute growth is expressed as a number of people, while growth rate is usually expressed as a percentage or a rate per thousand. Memory cue: absolute growth = current population − previous population.
