If a state has low total population but also very small area, how can density be?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Density can still be high

The direct answer is A: density can still be high. Population density is calculated as population divided by area: \(\text{Density}=\frac{\text{Population}}{\text{Area}}\). Therefore, a state may have a small total population but an even smaller area, making the number of people per square kilometre high. Step by step: take the population, measure the land area, divide population by area, and compare the result with other places. Option A is correct because a small denominator can produce a high quotient. Option B is wrong because low population does not make density automatically zero. Option C is wrong because density can be measured whenever population and area are known. Option D is wrong because rainfall is only one possible influence on settlement; density is mathematically based on population and area. Do not confuse population size, which is the total number, with density, which is people per unit area. Memory cue: always check both numerator and denominator.
