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: Africa grows the fastest and Europe the slowest in the old growth table. NTA asked the same four continents twice in one paper, once in each direction, so one order gave both answers.
