Question

Assam has _________ population density.

• A. high
• B. low
• C. moderate
• D. extreme

Answer 1

The correct option is C moderate

Assam and other peninsular states have moderate population density. The hilly, dissected, rocky nature of the terrain, moderate to low rainfall, and shallow, infertile soil has influenced population density adversely in these areas. Northern plains of India and Kerala have very high population density, due to the flat plains with fertile soils and abundant rainfall.
