Match the symbols used in population growth models in List-I with their correct descriptions in List-II. List-I List-II (a) N_t (i) Base of natural logarithms (b) r (ii) Rate of change in population size (c) e (iii) Population density after time t (d) dN dt (iv) Intrinsic rate of natural increase Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
- A(a)-(iii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(i), (d)-(ii)
- B(a)-(ii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(i), (d)-(iii)
- C(a)-(iii), (b)-(i), (c)-(iv), (d)-(ii)
- D(a)-(iii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(ii), (d)-(i)
Correct answer
A. (a)-(iii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(i), (d)-(ii)
Step-by-step solution
According to the mathematical models of population growth in NCERT: dN dt represents the rate of change in population size (increase or decrease in N during time period t ). r represents the intrinsic rate of natural increase. N_t represents the population density after time t . e represents the base of natural logarithms ( 2.71828 ). Therefore, the correct matching is (a)-(iii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(i), and (d)-(ii). Answer: (a)-(iii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(i), (d)-(ii)
