(i) Identify the state with the highest growth rate of population.
(ii) Calculate the absolute growth of population for the state mentioned by you in (d) (i) above.
Solution
(i) Bihar
Growth rate = `("P"_2-"P"_1)/"P"_2xx100`
P1 = Population of the base year
P2 = Population of the current year
P2 = 10,38,04,637
P1 = 8,29,98,509
P1 – P2 = 2,08,06,128
Growth rate = `20806128/(10,38,04,637)xx100`
= 2%
(ii) 20806128 (10,38,04,637 – 8,29,98,509)
