Assertion (A): Population growth can be expressed in absolute and percentage terms. Reason (R): Percentage growth alone provides complete demographic trends.

Question

Accepted Answer

1. **A is true.** Population change can be shown as an absolute number (change in people) or as a percentage (relative change).

2. **Example:** 1,000 → 1,100 has absolute change $100$ and percentage change $10\%$.

3. Two places can have the same percent growth but very different absolute changes (e.g. 1,000→1,100 vs 10,000→11,000 both $10\%$, but absolute $100$ vs $1,000$).

4. **R is false.** Percentage alone does not give magnitude or details like age, births, deaths, or migration.

5. So A true and R false. FINAL_ANSWER: c
