Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer to the first part of the question
Population of Rajasthan is 570 lakhs
Area of Rajasthan is 3 lakh sq km.
That means in the area of 3 lakh sq km the total population is 570 lakhs.
∴ The number of people per square km in the state of Rajasthan is 570 ÷3 = 190 lakhs.
Similarly the total population of Uttar Pradesh is 1660 lakhs and the total area of the state is 2 lakh per square km.
∴ The number of people per square kn in the state of Uttar Pradesh is 1660÷2 = 830 lakhs.
Rajasthan has 190 lakhs people per square km whereas Utttar Pradesh has 830 lakhs of people per square km.
Answer to the second part of the question
The term density of population means the number of people living in an area per square kilometer. Going by the above definition we see that the population density of Rajasthan is less than that of Uttar Pradesh.
The population density of Rajasthan is 190 per square km compared to 830 lakhs per square km in Uttar Pradesh.
Hope this helps.
