In a country 350,000 people reside over an area of 1,000 square kilometres. The density of population of the country is _____.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 350 person/sq km
Density of population is the number of people per unit of land.
- Density = Population ÷ Area
- = 350,000 ÷ 1,000
- = 350 persons per sq km
NCERT (2026-27): “DENSITY OF POPULATION … Each unit of land has limited capacity to support people living on it. Hence, it is necessary to understand the ratio between the numbers of people to the size of land. This ratio is the density of population. It is usually measured in persons per sq km” “Density of Population = Population/Area” |
