In which situation will average population density not give enough information for development policy?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When the area has both dense towns and sparse villages

Average population density is found by dividing the total population by the total area. It gives one overall figure, but it does not show where people actually live within that area. A region may appear moderately populated on average even when some places are crowded and others are almost empty. Therefore, average density alone may be insufficient for deciding where schools, hospitals, roads, housing, or water services are needed.

Option A is correct because dense towns and sparse villages create an uneven internal distribution. The same average can hide very different local conditions. Options B and D describe situations with little or no regional variation, where the average is more useful. Option C only states that the basic data are available; it does not solve the problem of uneven settlement.
