If a district has high total population but low population density what is the most likely reason?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The district has a very large area

The direct answer is A: the district has a very large area. Density is the number of people per unit area, calculated as \(\text{Density}=\frac{\text{Total Population}}{\text{Area}}\). A district can contain many people in total and still have low density if those people are spread across a very large land area. Step by step: note the high total population, note the large area, divide population by area, and see that the number per square kilometre may remain small. Option A is correct because a large denominator lowers the density when population is not large enough relative to it. Option B is wrong because a census is needed to know population, but the statement does not explain the mathematical relationship. Option C would usually mean concentration in one village and could produce high local density, not the most likely explanation for low district density. Option D is impossible or contradictory because a district with high population is not always zero. Remember: total population counts everyone; density compares people with land area.
