As per the Census of 2011, which was the most populous district of Haryana?
- A.Gurgaon
- B.Faridabad
- C.Hisar
- D.Sonipat
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is B, Faridabad. In the Census of 2011 Faridabad was the most populous district of Haryana and also the most densely peopled, because the district is an industrial city of the National Capital Region rather than a largely rural district. Option A, Gurgaon, now Gurugram, grew faster than any other district in the decade before 2011 and recorded the highest literacy rate in the state, but its total population stayed below that of Faridabad, which makes it the strongest distractor in the set. Option C, Hisar, and Option D, Sonipat, are populous districts of the plains but are well behind both National Capital Region districts. For the opposite question, Panchkula was the least populous of the districts existing at the Census of 2011 and Sirsa the least densely peopled.
