As per Census 2011, what was the total population of Gujarat?

  1. 5.07 crore
  2. 6.04 crore
  3. 7.21 crore
  4. 4.99 crore
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. 6.04 crore

1. Census 2011 recorded the population of Gujarat at 0.00 hours on 1st March 2011. 2. The total stood at 6.04 crore, made up of 3.15 crore males and 2.89 crore females. 3. 5.07 crore was the figure for Gujarat in Census 2001, not 2011. 4. So the 2011 population of Gujarat is 6.04 crore. _Source: Socio-Economic Review 2019-20, Gujarat State (Directorate of Economics & Statistics), p.46_

What share of India's total population did Gujarat account for as per Census 2011?

  1. 5.97%
  2. 7.90%
  3. 4.99%
  4. 6.70%
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. 4.99%

1. Census 2011 figures compare Gujarat with the national totals. 2. Gujarat accounted for 4.99% of India's total population. 3. The 5.97% figure is Gujarat's share of India's area, not population, so it is a trap. 4. Hence Gujarat's population share of India is 4.99%. _Source: Socio-Economic Review 2019-20, Gujarat State (Directorate of Economics & Statistics), p.46_

What share of India's total geographical area does Gujarat account for?

  1. 4.99%
  2. 5.97%
  3. 7.90%
  4. 11.15%
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. 5.97%

1. The publication compares Gujarat's area with India's total area. 2. Gujarat accounts for 5.97% of the total area of India. 3. 4.99% is the population share, a common confusion, so it is ruled out. 4. Therefore Gujarat's area share is 5.97%. _Source: Socio-Economic Review 2019-20, Gujarat State (Directorate of Economics & Statistics), p.46_
