Question

Age pyramid A, B and C indicates

• A. A-Expanding population, B-Stable population, C-Declining population
• B. A-Stable population, B-Declining population, C-Expanding population
• C. A-Declining population, B-Stable population, C-Expanding population
• D. A-Expanding population, B-Declining population, C-Stable population

Answer 1

The correct option is A A-Expanding population, B-Stable population, C-Declining population

Age pyramid Graphic representation of different age groups found in a population with pre-reproductive group at the base. Reproductive ones in the middle and post-reproductive group at the top is called age pyramid.

Triangular age pyramid has high proportion of preoperative individuals, moderate number of reproductive individuals and fewer post-reproductive individuals. It represents young or rapidly growing population.

In urn-shaped age pyramid, the number of reproductive individuals is higher than the number of pre-reproductive individuals. It represents declining or diminishing population with negative growth.

In bell-shaped age pyramid, the number of pre-reproductive and reproductive individuals is almost equal. Post reproductive individuals are comparatively fewer. It represents stable or stationary population, neither growing nor diminishing.


So, the correct answer is "A-Expanding, B-Stable, C-Declining"
