Question

Population of Rajasthan = 570 lakhs and population of UP = 1660 lakhs. Area of Rajasthan = 3 lakh km2 and area of UP = 2 lakh km2.

(i) How many people are there per km2 in both these States?
(ii) Which State is less populated?​

Answer 1

Solutions:

(i) Given, population of Rajasthan in 3 km2 area = 570 lakh

So the population of Rajasthan in 1 km2 area = 570/3 = 190 lakh

Now, Population of U.P in 2 km2 area = 1660 lakh

So, Population of U.P in 1 km2 area = 1660/2 = 830 lakh

(ii) On comparing the numbers we can easily observe that Rajasthan is less populated.

Answer 2

Rajasthan per square kilometers. 190 person per square kilometer.
Uttar Pradesh person per square kilometer- 830 person per square kilometer

Rajasthan is less populated
