Question

A larger population density always indicates a larger population size. True or False

Answer 1

False

Many people can live in one area, but have close to no one living somewhere else. 

Answer 2

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Population density represents the number of people living in a given unit of area.  

For example –

City A has a population density of 300 persons per hectare  and its area is 100 hectares, then its total population would be = 300 x 100 = 3,00,000

On the other hand, City B has a  population density of 250 persons per hectare  and its area is 200 hectares, then its total population would be = 250 x 200 = 5,00,000

Thus City B , though having lower population density has higher population.
