Assertion (A): Population density is the number of individuals in an area of 100 square kilometers per year.

Reason (R): Population density gives us an idea of all the living organisms of different species in a particular area every year.

1. A is True and R is False.
2. A is False and R is True.
3. Both A and R are True.
4. Both A and R are False.

Options

• (1)

• (2)

• (3)

• (4)

Answer 1

(4)

Explanation:

Population density is the number of individuals of a particular species living per unit area or volume at a given time. It is not specifically calculated for an area of 100 square kilometres per year. Therefore, the Assertion (A) is false.

Population density refers to the number of individuals of one particular species, not all living organisms of different species present in an area. Therefore, the Reason (R) is also false.

Hence, both A and R are false.
