Q. Consider the following statements: - Population density is calculated as the number of persons per unit area.
- Only Bangladesh and China have higher average population densities than India.
- The population density of India in the year 2011 was 482 persons per sq km.
Which of the above statements is/are incorrect?
Answer:
Only 2 and 3
Notes: Population density is indeed calculated as persons per unit area. However, besides Bangladesh, it is Japan—not China—that has a higher average population density than India. Furthermore, in 2011, India's population density was 382 persons per sq km, not 482. Therefore, statements 2 and 3 are incorrect.
