Match List-I with List-II
| List-I (Concept) | List-II (Definition) | ||
| (A) | Population Doubling Time | (I) | Total Population divided by the net cultivated area. |
| (B) | Physiological Density | (II) | Total Agricultural population divided by net cultivable area |
| (C) | Agricultural Density | (III) | Total number of persons living in per unit area |
| (D) | Density of population | (IV) | Time taken by any population to double itself at its current annual growth rate |
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) Population Doubling Time — this matches (IV) Time taken by any population to double itself at its current annual growth rate.
(B) Physiological Density — this matches (I) Total Population divided by the net cultivated area.
(C) Agricultural Density — this matches (II) Total Agricultural population divided by net cultivable area.
(D) Density of population — this matches (III) Total number of persons living in per unit area.
NCERT (2025-26): “Density of Population … Density of population, is expressed as number of persons per unit area. It helps in getting a better understanding of the spatial distribution of population in relation to land.… Density of Population … The density of population, as discussed in the earlier paragraph, is a crude measure of human and land relationship. To get a better insight into the human-land ratio in terms of pressure of population on total cultivable land, the physiological and the agricultural densities should be found out which are significant for a country like India having a large agricultural population.”
