According to the census of May 2011, the population of India was approximately:

• A. 10 billion
• B. 1.2 billion
• C. 1 million
• D. 1.2 million

Answer 1

The correct option is B 1.2 billion

Better living conditions and improved medical facilities have an explosive impact on the population growth.

The world population in 1900 was around 2 billion which rocketed to 6 billion by 2000.

The population growth followed the same trend in India too. India's population which was approximately 350 million at the time of independence has crossed the 1.2 billion mark according to the census of May 2011.
