• B. A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV
• C. A-II, B-I, C-III, D-IV
• D. A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III

Hint:

Himachal Pradesh is the least urbanized state in India (mostly rural). Goa, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala are at the top (highly urbanized).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: The level of urbanization in India (2011 Census) varies significantly by state. While the national average was 31.16%, some states are highly urbanized due to geography or economic hubs, while mountainous states remain predominantly rural.

Step 1: Matching Urbanization Levels to States.

• A. High: Mizoram (A-II) has a surprisingly high urbanization level (52.1%), making it one of the most urbanized states in India.
• B. Medium: Karnataka (B-I) is slightly above the national average at 38.7%, representing a medium-high level.
• C. Low: Rajasthan (C-III) is below the national average at 24.9%, falling into the low urbanization category.
• D. Very Low: Himachal Pradesh (D-IV) is the least urbanized state in India (approx. 10% urban), meaning 90% of its population lives in rural areas.

Step 2: Conclusion.
The correct sequence is A-II, B-I, C-III, D-IV.
