Which factors affect the distribution of the population of India?
Show Hint
Solution and Explanation
The distribution of India's population is influenced by several factors:
Geographical Factors:
Fertile plains (e.g., Indo-Gangetic plains) have high population density.
Mountains (e.g., Himalayas) have low population due to harsh climate.
Coastal regions attract high population due to trade and economic activities.
Economic Factors:
Industrialized areas (e.g., Mumbai, Delhi) have higher population due to job opportunities.
Agricultural regions depend on fertile land and irrigation.
Social and Political Factors:
Areas with better education, healthcare, and infrastructure attract more people.
Government policies, such as urban planning and special economic zones, influence population distribution.

- Appreciation of the poem:
Read the following poem and write an appreciation of it with the help of the points given below:
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
Robert Frost

The radius of a circle with centre 'P' is 10 cm. If chord AB of the circle subtends a right angle at P, find area of minor sector by using the following activity. (\(\pi = 3.14\))
Activity :
r = 10 cm, \(\theta\) = 90\(^\circ\), \(\pi\) = 3.14.
A(P-AXB) = \(\frac{\theta}{360} \times \boxed{\phantom{\pi r^2}}\) = \(\frac{\boxed{\phantom{90}}}{360} \times 3.14 \times 10^2\) = \(\frac{1}{4} \times \boxed{\phantom{314}}\) <br>
A(P-AXB) = \(\boxed{\phantom{78.5}}\) sq. cm.
