Question

A. Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh
B. Maharashtra and Nagaland
C. Uttar Pradesh and Sikkim
D. Andhra Pradesh and Assam

Answer 1

India’s population is equivalent to 17.7% of the total world population. Think about the geographical area of each state and quality of education provided in those states.

Complete Answer:
- If we look at the history and statistics of the population and its connection with technology and knowledge. Then we observe that, the states with less awareness about education and less inclination towards family planning have more population.
- If we study the geography of India, then we can observe that the northern states like Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh are those states who have less educational inclination and larger geographical area.
Now if we look at the options given for this question, we observe that only option (A) and option (C) have the names we have thought about.
- Again, option (A) Uttar Pradesh is given for the lowest population, which definitely is not possible because Uttar Pradesh is one of the large states in India with a high population. Whereas, in option (C) Sikkim is given which clearly is a state with less geographical area.

So, by observing all the options we can conclude that the correct option is (C) Uttar Pradesh and Sikkim.

Additional information:
- Largest state in India by population is Uttar Pradesh. Uttar Pradesh is the largest state in India in terms of population. It is the state in northern India with roughly 200 million inhabitants. It is the most popular sub division in the world.
- Smallest state in India by population is Sikkim. The population of Sikkim as per details from census 2011 is 610,577 Sikkim is a state in northern India bordered by Bhutan, Tibet and Nepal.

Note: Such questions can be solved by good observation of the options given. General awareness and logic. Knowing facts is good. But sometimes, even if you don’t know the exact facts but have a general knowledge then also such types of questions can be done by eliminating wrong options.
