Answer 2

Answer: 1.6%

Explanation:

The formula to find the population growth rate is given by :-

$\text{Population Growth Rate}=\dfrac{\text{Birth Rate -Death Rate}}{10}$

Given : In 2011, India’s birth rate was 22 and death rate was 6.

Then, the population growth rate will be :-

$\text{Population Growth Rate}=\dfrac{22-6}{10}=\dfrac{16}{10}=1.6\%$

Hence, the population growth rate =1.6%
