AAbout 57.4 percent
BAbout 42.58 percent
CAbout 19.3 percent
DAbout 4.99 percent
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. About 42.58 percent

2. Approximately 42.58 percent of Gujarat's population resides in urban areas.
3. The 57.4 percent figure is the rural share, so it is the opposite and a trap.
4. The 19.3 percent figure is the decadal growth rate, unrelated to urban share.
5. Therefore about 42.58 percent of the population is urban.
