Question 157

Question. 157

India’s population increased from 439 million in 1961 to 1028 million in 2001. Find total increase and write in Indian System with commas.

Answer:

Increase = 589 million = 58,90,00,000

Detailed Answer with Explanation:

Step 1: Write the numbers.

2001 population = \(1028\) million

1961 population = \(439\) million

Step 2: Subtract to get the increase.

\(\text{Increase} = 1028 - 439\)

\(= 589\) million

Step 3: Write \(589\) million in digits.

\(589\text{ million} = 589,000,000\)

Step 4: Put commas in the Indian System.

From the right: first 3 digits, then groups of 2 digits.

\(589,000,000 \rightarrow 58,90,00,000\)

Final: Increase = \(589\) million = \(58,90,00,000\) (\(58\) crore \(90\) lakh).
