Answer 1

Ans is C

The population growth rate in 2015 = (Population in 2015 - Population in 2014) ÷ Population in 2014

Population in 2015 -Population in 2014 = ( 320.99 - 318.86)Million = 2.13 million

Population growth rate = 2.13 million/ Population in 2014

= 2130000÷318860000 = 0.00668

Population growth rate in percentage = 0.00668×100 = 0.668%

So ans is C 0.66%
