Analyzing Population Density of Indian States (2011 Census)

The question asks us to arrange four specific Indian states based on their population density according to the 2011 Census Report in descending order (from highest to lowest population density).

First, let's understand what population density means.

What is Population Density?

Population density is a measurement of population per unit area, typically per square kilometer or square mile. It is calculated by dividing the total population of a region by its total land area. A higher population density indicates more people living in a given area.

Formula for Population Density:

\(\text{Population Density} = \frac{\text{Total Population}}{\text{Total Land Area}}\)

Population Density of Given States (2011 Census)

We need the population density figures for West Bengal, Kerala, Bihar, and Uttar Pradesh as per the 2011 Census. Let's list them:

Arranging States in Descending Order of Population Density

Now, we arrange these states from the highest population density to the lowest population density based on the 2011 Census figures:

1. Bihar (1,106) - Highest
2. West Bengal (1,028)
3. Kerala (860)
4. Uttar Pradesh (828) - Lowest

So, the descending order is Bihar, West Bengal, Kerala, and Uttar Pradesh.

Matching this order with the options provided, using the codes given in the question:

• (A) West Bengal
• (B) Kerala
• (C) Bihar
• (D) Uttar Pradesh

The descending order (Bihar, West Bengal, Kerala, Uttar Pradesh) corresponds to (C), (A), (B), (D).

Conclusion

Based on the 2011 Census data, the states arranged in descending order of their population density are Bihar, West Bengal, Kerala, and Uttar Pradesh. This matches option (C), (A), (B), (D).

Additional Information: India's Population Density (2011 Census)

Understanding population density gives insights into how populated different regions are. Here are some additional points about India's population density based on the 2011 Census:

• The average population density of India in 2011 was 382 persons per square kilometer.
• Bihar had the highest population density among Indian states.
• Arunachal Pradesh had the lowest population density among Indian states (17 persons per sq km).
• Union Territories generally have much higher population densities than states due to their small area and often large urban populations. Delhi has the highest density among all states and UTs.
• Population density is influenced by various factors including geographical features, climate, economic opportunities, and historical development.
