Question

Which of the following is the most sparsely populated state of India ?

• A. Manipur
• B. Rajasthan
• C. Meghalaya
• D. Arunachal Pradesh

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Population density is the numbers of individuals per unit area at a given time.
Population density $(D)=\frac{\text{ No. of individuals }}{\text{ Space }}$
The population density of Arunachal Pradesh is minimum i.e., $13/k{m}^2$ and the population density of West Bangal is maximum (i.e., $1074/k{m}^2$ in Indian states therefore Arunachal Pradesh is the sparsely populated state of India.
