A382
B258
C308
D346
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. 308
1. Population density is the number of persons per square kilometre.
2. Gujarat's density in Census 2011 was 308 persons per sq.km., up from 258 in 2001.
3. The 382 figure is the national average density, which is higher than Gujarat's, so it is a trap.
4. The 258 figure belongs to Census 2001, not 2011.
5. Hence Gujarat's 2011 population density is 308 persons per sq.km.
