Answers

Population Density,:
Population density is the ratio between the number of people to the size of land. It is usually measured in persons per square kilometre. The density of the population is the distribution of the people over the earth's surface. It can be expressed in the form of a formula:
Density of population = Population/Area
Example: If the area of a region is 200 sq km and the population I 2,00,000 persons. The density of population is calculated as:
Density = 2,00,000/200
= 1000 person/sq km.
