APSC CCE 2024 · Question 24 of 178

In India during 2001 to 2011, the number of census towns showed rapid growth (increased by a total of 2500 in number) compared to statutory towns (increased by about 250 in number). The rapid growth of census towns was because of (i) formation of municipal board/committee and notified town area committee, etc. (ii) rapid growth of population leading to cross the minimum requirement of 5000 inhabitants to qualify as a town (iii) the town area becoming densely populated with more than 400 persons per square kilometre (iv) three-fourths of the male workforce found full-time jobs beyond agriculture activities Select the correct answer using the codes given below.

  1. A(i), (ii) and (iii) only
  2. B(ii), (iii) and (iv) onlyCorrect
  3. C(i), (iii) and (iv) only
  4. D(iv) only

Answer: B. (ii), (iii) and (iv) only

Explanation

Census-town status follows demographic criteria (population over 5000, density over 400/sq km, 75% male non-agricultural workforce); municipal formation applies to statutory towns, so (i) is excluded; official key gives (B).
