Read the paragraph given below and answer questions below:

In rural areas of low income countries, rapid population growths has often resulted in added pressure on agricultural land, resulting in land fragmentation and the reduction of yields. Such a process is at the root of a further cycle of environmental damage as the people who lack adequate land in one region migrate to ever more environmentally fragile area in search of better chances of subsistence. Although the rural population of developing countries is expected to increase more slowly in the future than it did over past 40 years, several regions already have very high population densities relative to available agricultural land. Consequently, even low levels of population growth are likely to result in added pressure on the rural environment.In those region, the continued destruction of natural resources as a result of attempts to extend the agricultural frontier is very likely to continue or to accelerate in the future.

When considering responses to environmental problems, it is necessary to recognize that social- institutional factors are as important as the technologies ones. Traditional societies developed communal rules for managing scares resources. Population growths has the potential to destabilize such communal arrangements, since rules that functioned adequately at a low population density may lead to over exploitation and pollution at a higher density.

Q. Rapid population growth in rural areas of low income countries results into:

(1) Increased use of pesticides

(2) Increased use of stubble burning

(3) Land fragmentation and reduction of yields

(4) Intensive use of irrigation

Q.In spite of slow rural population growth in low income countries, environmental damages will continue because:

(1) Consumption level of the population is high

(2) Agricultural density is high

(3) Adoption of primitive method in agriculture

(4) High use of chemical fertilizer

Q. Rural population growth in low income countries causes which of the following?

(a) Pushes people to migrate out

(b) Extend the agriculture frontier

(c) Intensifies the use of labor in agriculture

Codes:

(1) Only (a) and (b)

(2) Only (b) and (c)

(3) Only (a) and (c)

(4) All (a) , (b) and (c)

Q. Assertion (A) : Human activities in environmentally fragile areas cause damage to the environment.

Reason (R) : Rural population growth leads to migration of people to environmentally fragile areas.

Codes:

(1) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is correct explanation of (A) .

(2) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A) .

(3) (A) is true, but (R) is false.

(4) (A) is false but (R) is true.

Q. Which of the following is the correct combination of factors while understanding population growth and environmental degradation?

(1) Social and institutional

(2) Institutional and technological

(3) Social- institutional and technological

(F) Which among the following is not true while considering population growth and resource management?

(1) Traditional societies developed communal rules for managing scarce resources.

(2) Communal rules work well when there is high population density.

(3) Population growth may destabilize the communal rule.

(4) Communal rules may cause over — exploitation of scarce resources at higher population density.
