Q151
Geography (incl. West Bengal)Population, Census & Tribes
Density of population in India according to 2001 Census is
  1. a.340 persons/sq. km.
  2. b.370 persons/sq. km.
  3. c.324 persons/sq. km.
  4. d.380 persons/sq. km.

Answer: (C) 324 persons/sq. km.

The 2001 Census put India's population density at about 324–325 persons per sq km, up from 267 in 1991. The 2011 Census figure was 382, so the higher options match neither 2001 nor any census exactly.
