Direction: The Bar Graph given here shows the population (in crores) of India in various census years. Observe the graph and answer the question based on it.
-
In which census year, the percent increase in population is highest as compared to that in the previous census year?
-
- 1951
- 1961
- 1971
- 1981
Correct Option: D
On the basis of given bar graph in question ,
Percentage increase in 1981 = 24.8% ( From Previous question Answer )
Population in 1971 = 54.80 million
Population in 1961 = 43.92 million
Increase = (54.80 – 43.92) million
| ∴ Percent Increase in 1971 = | × 100 | Population in 1961 |
| Percentage increase in 1971 = |  | 54.80 - 43.92 |  | × 100 = 24.77% | |
| 43.92 |
Hence, increase is highest in 1981.
