In which situation can the absolute population increase be low even when the growth rate is high?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When the base population is very small

Answer: A, when the base population is very small. A growth rate is a percentage, while absolute increase is the actual number of people added. The relationship is absolute increase = base population × rate ÷ 100. Therefore, a high percentage applied to a small base may produce a smaller numerical increase than a lower percentage applied to a very large base. For instance, 50% of 2 lakh is 1 lakh, whereas 5% of 100 lakh is 5 lakh. The first rate is higher, but its absolute increase is lower. A is correct because it identifies the small base as the reason. B would generally produce a larger absolute increase, not a smaller one, when the rate is high. C is incorrect because growth must be measured over a stated period. D concerns area and does not by itself determine the number of people added. Memory cue: percentage tells proportion; absolute increase tells actual persons.
