Answer:

Compared to 2100 the present population is 80 : 90 %

Step-by-step explanation:

  • According to the population bureau, the population of India in mid-2010 was about 6.8 million, which increased to 1,38 bn in 2020. if the rate of the increasing population continues then India will have 1,447 million (1.09 billion) by 2100 as the world population is estimated to be 16 billion.
  • As India is a developing nation has a large fertility rate but with the passage of time, the fertility rate will decline due to the increse instandrds of living and more working class.
