Normal practice, or a Simulated test

Both use the same questions. Normal practice is untimed and needs no account: choose an option and the answer and solution appear at once. The Simulated test is the real computer-based format, with one 30-minute clock, a question palette and full screen, and your score, the key and the solutions arrive when you submit.

FAQs about Population and Census – GK Quiz with Answers – Level 2

What is dependency ratio in population?
Dependency ratio compares dependents, that is children and the aged, with the working-age adult population. A larger share of children and elderly people raises the ratio.
Who is considered literate according to the census of India?
Census 2011 treats a person aged seven years and above as literate if they can read and write with understanding in any language. A person who can only read but cannot write is not counted as literate.
Why has India's population growth rate been declining?
The growth rate has been falling gradually because birth rates have declined. Family planning efforts, better health awareness and education have contributed to this.
What does migration mean in population studies?
Migration is the movement of people from one place to another, within a country or across borders. It changes the size and composition of population in both areas.
