Note 1: This question is taken from the pre-rationalised NCERT book. The latest edition (2026-27) does not have this part. An extract of the pre-rationalised NCERT book is given below for the benefit of students.
Note 2: Nigeria is the book’s example of an expanding pyramid, but NTA picked Bangladesh from a sentence just after it. Read the sentences after every example too.
Pre-rationalised NCERT: “Expanding Populations The age-sex pyramid of Nigeria as you can see is a triangular shaped pyramid with a wide base and is typical of less developed countries. These have larger populations in lower age groups due to high birth rates. If you construct the pyramids for Bangladesh and Mexico, it would look the same.” |
