Question:
Which of the following statements is/are true about the population growth?
Options:
A small increase in population is desirable in a growing economy.
Population decline is also a matter of concern.
Both 1 and 2
None of the above.
Correct Answer:
Both 1 and 2
Explanation:
A small increase in population is desirable in a growing economy. However, population growth beyond a certain level leads to problems. Of these the depletion of resources is the most serious. Population decline is also a matter of concern. It indicates that resources that had supported a population earlier are now insufficient to maintain the population.
