PYST : General Awareness - SSC Stenographer 2024 (Tier-I) (10-Dec-2024) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

 Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram

The correct answer is Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram. According to the Census of India 2011, these two states had the lowest population density among all the states in India. Population density is a measure of population per unit area (typically per square kilometer). Areas with sparse populations and large land areas naturally have lower population densities. Both Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram are geographically large states with relatively small populations spread across mountainous and forested terrains, resulting in their low population density figures. This contrasts sharply with more densely populated states in India which have larger populations concentrated in smaller geographical areas. Factors influencing population density are varied and complex including geography, economic opportunities, and historical settlement patterns. The Census of India provides detailed demographic data, which is frequently used for policy planning and research.

Options 1, 3, and 4 are incorrect because they include at least one state with a significantly higher population density compared to Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram. The Census of India 2011 data clearly shows Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram as having substantially lower population densities than the states mentioned in the other options. Understanding population density is important for analyzing spatial distribution of people and formulating relevant government policies.
