Answer 1

Answer: (C), (D)

The correct options are
C The length of the bar represents the number of individuals in age group.
D Broader base means relatively larger proportion of young people


In an age-population pyramid, the bars stacked on one-another represent the age category. Their lengths represent the number of individuals in the specific age group. The bars on the right side of the central axis represent the female side and that on the right represents the male side. A broader base talks about a relatively larger proportion of young people.
