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

Answer:

Given:

Population of Rajasthan = 570 lakhs Population of UP = 1660 lakhs

Area of Rajasthan = 3 lakh $km^{2}$ Area of UP = 2 lakh $km^{2}$

(i) Number of people per $km^{2}$ of Rajasthan

= $\frac{570 lakh}{3 lakh}$

= 190 per $km^{2}$

Number of people in UP = 1660 lakhs

Area of UP = 2 lakh $km^{2}$

Number of people per $km^{2}$ of UP

=$\frac{1660lakh}{2lakh}$
= 830 per $km^{2}$

Since 190 per $km^{2}$ < 830 per $km^{2}$

(ii) Rajasthan is less populated state.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Population of Rajasthan = 570 lakhs Population of UP = 1660 lakhs

Area of Rajasthan = 3 lakh km^{2}km2 Area of UP = 2 lakh km^{2}km2

(i) Number of people per km^{2}km2 of Rajasthan

= \frac{570 lakh}{3 lakh}3lakh570lakh

= 190 per km^{2}km2

Number of people in UP = 1660 lakhs

Area of UP = 2 lakh km^{2}km2

Number of people per km^{2}km2 of UP

=\frac{1660lakh}{2lakh}2lakh1660lakh

= 830 per km^{2}km2

Since 190 per km^{2}km2 < 830 per km^{2}km2

(ii) Rajasthan is less populated state.
