In the question given below, an Assertion (A) is given, followed by a Reason (R) which may or may not explain the assertion. Choose the correct answer. Assertion (A): Population growth can be expressed in absolute and percentage terms. Reason (R): Percentage growth alone provides complete demographic trends.

1. Both A and R are true, and R explains A
2. Both A and R are true, but R does not explain A
3. A is true, but R is false
4. A is false, but R is true

Correct answer: A is true, but R is false

Solution

Population growth may be expressed in absolute numbers as well as in percentage terms. The reason is false because percentage growth alone does not provide complete demographic trends; other indicators are also needed.
