Answer the questions based on the following information.
The following table gives the urban population of a country and the percentages of total population in rural and urban areas as recorded in the 10-years censuses during 1901-81.
Table 1. Urban and rural population 1901-1981
Solution
From the table ,
Total population in 1901 = Rural population in 1901 + Urban population in 1901
=225+25 = 250
Total population in 1981 = Rural population in 1981 + Urban population in 1981
=450+150 = 600
Percentage increase in population from 1901 to 1981 is $$\frac{600-250}{250}$$ * 100
=350/250 *100
=140%
Hence C is the correct answer.
