Solution
The correct option is C Statement 1 is false, while statement 2 is true. As per the given double bar graph: The population of Mid-West in 2001 was 100 million. Two- thirds of this is 66.67 million, which was not the population of North-West in 2001. Hence, statement 1 is false.
Population of North-West in 1998 = 40 million Population of North-West in 1999 = 80 million Percentage increase in population =80−4040×100%=100% Hence, statement 2 is true.
