Union Territory Population Density Ranking

This solution explains which Union Territory (UT) among the choices provided has the highest population density. Population density measures how crowded a place is, calculated as the number of people living within a specific unit of area, typically per square kilometer.

Comparing Union Territory Population Densities

To identify the UT with the highest population density, we compare the figures for each option. Population density is calculated using the formula:

$$ \text{Population Density} = \frac{\text{Total Population}}{\text{Total Area}} $$

Here are the approximate population densities based on available data (primarily Census 2011, with notes on recent trends):

Analysis of UT Population Densities

Evaluating each option helps understand the differences:

• Daman & Diu: It has a considerable population density, but it is much lower than Delhi's.
• Lakshadweep: This island UT experiences a moderate level of population density, far below that of Delhi.
• Delhi: Known for its high urbanization and large population concentrated in a relatively small area, Delhi has an exceptionally high population density, making it the most densely populated UT among the choices.
• Andaman & Nicobar Islands: With extensive natural reserves and a lower population spread across many islands, it has a very low population density.
• Dadar & Nagar Haveli: This UT had a higher density than the Andaman & Nicobar Islands, but still significantly less than Delhi. (It has since merged with Daman & Diu).

Conclusion on Highest Density UT

Comparing the population densities, Delhi is clearly the Union Territory with the highest population density among the options provided.
