A5.97%
B7.90%
C4.99%
D6.70%
Answer & 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%.
