What was the decadal population growth rate of Gujarat between Census 2001 and Census 2011?
A22.7%
B17.7%
C19.3%
D9.3%
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. 19.3%
1. Gujarat's population rose from 5.07 crore in 2001 to 6.04 crore in 2011.
2. This works out to a decadal growth rate of 19.3%.
3. The 17.7% figure is the all-India growth rate, not Gujarat's, so it is ruled out.
4. The 22.7% figure is Gujarat's growth in the earlier decade 1991-2001.
5. Therefore Gujarat's 2001-2011 decadal growth was 19.3%.
