Study the given statements carefully:
(a) Average population size of class - II cities was 87189
(b) Class - I cities have highest concentration of population
(c) Average population size of Class - I cities is less than average population size of Class - II cities.
(d) Number of Class V cities were more than Class - I and II cities together.
(e) Class - II and Class II cities together have less than 20% population.
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
Average population size of class - II cities = 41328000/474=87189- This option (a) is correct.
Class - I cities have highest concentration of population- This option (b) is correct
Average population size of Class - I cities =227899000/468=486963 which is more than average population size of class-II cities. hence this option (c) is wrong.
No of Class - I and II cities together= 468+474=942 while Number of Class V cities= 1,749. Thus option (d) is correct.
Class - II and Class III cities population together= 41328000+58174000=99502000, Proportion of population of these two cities in respect to entire population= 99502000/377106000*100=26.3%. hence, option (e) is wrong.
