Question 27 of 43intermediate🔧 ApplyShort Answer2 marks

Are there cities whose population has almost doubled? Which are they?

Correct Answer

Yes, Bengaluru and Surat have populations that almost doubled.

Step 1: For each city, check if 2011 population ≈\approx 2×20012 \times 2001 population.

Bengaluru: 2001 population = 43,01,326 2011 population = 84,25,970 2×432 \times 43,01,326 = 86,02,652 Actual 2011 = 84,25,970 (close) ∴ Population almost doubled.

Surat: 2001 population = 24,33,835 2011 population = 44,67,797 2×242 \times 24,33,835 = 48,67,670 Actual 2011 = 44,67,797 (close) ∴ Population almost doubled.

Explanation

By comparing 2001 and 2011 populations, we can identify cities where the 2011 population is approximately twice the 2001 population.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: For each city, check if 2011 population ≈\approx 2×20012 \times 2001 population

  2. Step 2: Bengaluru: 2×432 \times 43,01,326 = 86,02,652; actual 2011 = 84,25,970 (close)

  3. Step 3: Surat: 2×242 \times 24,33,835 = 48,67,670; actual 2011 = 44,67,797 (close)
