If births are 500 and deaths are 300, what will be the natural increase?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 200

The direct answer is A: the natural increase is 200 people. Natural increase measures the change produced only by births and deaths, so migration is not included in this calculation. Use the rule: natural increase = births − deaths. Here, births are 500 and deaths are 300. Subtract carefully: 500 − 300 = 200. Therefore the population has a positive natural increase of 200 people during the stated period. Option A is correct because it gives the result of the subtraction. Option B, 300, is the number of deaths, not the difference between births and deaths. Option C, 500, simply repeats the number of births and does not remove deaths. Option D, 800, adds births and deaths, but deaths must be subtracted when finding natural increase. Memory cue: for natural increase, “births minus deaths”; do not add migration unless the question asks for actual change.
