Question 28 of 43intermediate🔧 ApplyNumerical2 marks

By what number should we multiply Patna's population to get a number/population close to that of Mumbai?

Correct Answer

Note: Patna is not listed in the table. However, if we consider the question in context, we would need Patna's population data.

Given: Mumbai's 2011 population = 1,24,42,373 ≈\approx 1.24 crore ≈\approx 124 lakh Patna's population (from external knowledge) ≈\approx 20 lakh

Calculation: Ratio = 124/20 ≈\approx 6

Answer: We would multiply Patna's population by approximately 6 to get close to Mumbai's population.
