Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept
Population density means the number of people living per square kilometre. To rank districts by density, compare the Census values on the same unit and arrange them from the largest value to the smallest.
Application
Record the Census 2011 densities: Bhopal 855, Indore 841, Jabalpur 473, and Gwalior about 446 persons per square kilometre.
Compare the first pair: 855 is greater than 841, so Bhopal comes before Indore.
Compare the remaining pair: 473 is greater than about 446, so Jabalpur comes before Gwalior.
Combining the comparisons gives the descending order Bhopal, Indore, Jabalpur, Gwalior.
Cross-check
District | Density (persons per sq. km) |
|---|---|
Bhopal | 855 |
Indore | 841 |
Jabalpur | about 473 |
Gwalior | about 446 |
The values decrease at every step (855 > 841 > 473 > about 446), confirming the order Bhopal, Indore, Jabalpur, Gwalior.
