Discussion
Consider the following statements about population distribution in India.
I) Physiography strongly influences population distribution and density
II) Northern plains have high density due to fertile soils and water availability
III) Peninsular Plateau uniformity shows low density
Answer: A
The correct statements are I and II only.
Physiography (relief, soils and water) strongly influences where people live (I), and the northern plains are densely populated because of their fertile alluvial soils and abundant water (II).
Statement III is wrong because the peninsular plateau is not uniform: it has densely peopled areas such as the coastal plains, river deltas and industrial belts, as well as sparsely peopled hills and forests. So the options containing III are wrong.
