Observe the given figure representing different age pyramids for human population and answer the following question.
Match List - I with List - II.
| List – I | List – II |
|---|---|
| (A) Stable | (I) A |
| (B) Post reproductive stage | (II) F |
| (C) Declining | (III) D |
| (D) Expanding | (IV) E |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → (A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(III)
(A) Stable — this matches (IV) E. Bell-shaped pyramid.
(B) Post reproductive stage — this matches (I) A. The top band of each pyramid.
(C) Declining — this matches (II) F. Urn-shaped pyramid with a narrow base.
(D) Expanding — this matches (III) D. Broad-based pyramid.
NCERT Extract:
Population Attributes – “… A population at any given time is composed of individuals of different ages. If the age distribution (per cent individuals of a given age or age group) is plotted for the population, the resulting structure is called an age pyramid (Figure 11.1). For human population, the age pyramids generally show age distribution of males and females in a diagram. The shape of the pyramids reflects the growth status of the population - (a) whether it is growing, (b) stable or (c) declining.”
