Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Population density represents the number of people living in a given unit of area.

For example –

City A has a population density of 300 persons per hectare and its area is 100 hectares, then its total population would be = 300 x 100 = 3,00,000

On the other hand, City B has a population density of 250 persons per hectare and its area is 200 hectares, then its total population would be = 250 x 200 = 5,00,000

Thus City B , though having lower population density has higher population.
