Options

Answer 1

The average calories required per person per day in urban area is 2100.

Explanation:

This is because urban people generally engage in less hard physical labour compared to rural people, who require higher energy intake (2400 calories per day) to meet their more physically demanding activities. Thus, the calorie intake standard reflects the differences in lifestyle and work intensity between urban and rural populations in India.
