A
Migration

B
Human development report

C
Net attendance ratio

The third most populous nation in the world is:

Nigeria

Japan

China

USA

Solution

The third most populous nation in the world is the USA. India, with a population of 1.426 billion, is the most populous country worldwide. India and China are by far the most populous countries and the only ones with more than one billion inhabitants. Together they account for about 36 percent of the total population and occupy nine percent of the habitable earth's surface. In April 2023, India replaced China as the country with the highest population to date.

Most Populous Countries

India	17.85%
China	17.81%
United States	4.53%
Indonesia	3.39%
Brazil	2.83%
Pakistan	2.47%
Bangladesh	2.39%

Question 3
1 / -0

Consider the following statements and choose the correct option from the given options.

1. In the Census 1971, additional information on the place of last residence was added in the migration data.

2. In the same Census duration of stay at the place of enumeration was also incorporated.

A
Only 1 is correct

B
Both 1 and 2 are correct

C
Only 2 is correct

D
Both are incorrect
Solution
Actually, migration was recorded from the very beginning of the first Census of India conducted in 1881. The data were recorded on the basis of place of birth. However, there have been many modifications since then.

The first major modification was introduced in the 1961 Census by bringing in two additional components viz place of birth, i.e. village or town and duration of residence (if born elsewhere).

Further in 1971, additional information on the place of last residence and duration of stay at the place of enumeration were incorporated.

Information on reasons for migration were incorporated in the 1981 Census and modified in consecutive Censuses.

Question 4

1 / -0

Which approach of human geography was followed in the colonial period?

Areal differentiation

Spatial organization

Behavioural

Regional

Solution

Approaches in human geography are as follows:

Period	Approaches
Early Colonial period	Exploration and description
Later Colonial period	Regional analysis
From the 1930s through the inter-War period	Areal differentiation
From the late 1950s to the the late 1960s	Spatial organisation
The 1970s	Emergence of humanistic, radical and behavioural schools
The 1990s	Post-modernism in geography

Question 5
1 / -0

The crude birth rate (CBR) is expressed as (CBR = Crude birth rate; Bi = Live births during the year; P = Mid year population of the area)

A
\(CBR = \frac{Bi}{P} × 100\)

B
\(CBR = \frac{P}{Bi} × 1000\)

C
\(CBR = \frac{P}{Bi} × 100\)

D
\(CBR = \frac{Bi}{P} × 1000\)

Solution

The crude birth rate (CBR) is equal to the number of live births (Bi) in a year divided by the total midyear population (P), with the ratio multiplied by 1,000 to arrive at the number of births per 1,000 people.

The formula for crude birth is: \(CBR = \frac{Bi}{P} × 1000\) ; CBR = Crude birth rate; Bi = Live births during the year; P = Mid-year population of the area).
Question 6
1 / -0

Which of the following is not a push factor?

A
Water shortage

B
Unemployment

C
Medical/Educational facilities

D
Epidemics
Solution
Medical/educational facilities are hence pulled factors not push factors.

The Push factors make the place of origin seem less attractive for reasons like-
- unemployment
- poor living conditions
- political turmoil
- unpleasant climate
- natural disasters
- epidemics and socio-economic backwardness.
The Pull factors make the place of destination seem more attractive than the place of origin for reasons like better job opportunities etc.
Question 7
1 / -0

What is a statistical study of the human population called?

A
Human Geography

B
Biogeography

C
Demography

D
Pedology

Solution

Statistical study of the human population is known as demography.
Question 8
1 / -0

What is the annual number of deaths per 1,000 people called?

A
Life expectancy

B
Infant mortality rate

C
Crude death rate

D
Crude fertility rate

Solution

The crude death rate (CDR) is defined as the number of deaths in a year per 1,000 of the midyear population.
Question 9
1 / -0

Who among the following gave the Theory of Demographic Transition?

A
Frank Notestein

B
Alexander Humboldt

C
Charles Darwin

D
Jeans Jacques

Solution

Demographic Transition Theory (DTT) was developed by Frank Notestein in 1945. This theory provides an explanation of how fertility and mortality rates impact the age distribution and growth rate of populations.
