Q. Which type of age pyramid obtained when the population is growing?

A) Bell-shaped age pyramid
B) Urn-shaped age pyramid
C) Triangular age pyramid
D) Square-shaped pyramid
Explanation

Triangular age pyramid. Age pyramid Graphic representation of different age groups found in a population with pre-reproductive group at the base. Reproductive ones in the middle and post-reproductive group at the top is called age pyramid. Age pyramid have three kinds (i) Triangular Age Pyramid The number of pre-reproductive is very large. Number of reproductive individual is moderate and post-reproductive are fewer. Population size is growing (ii) Bell-shaped Age Pyramid The number of prereproductive and reproductive individuals is almost equal. Post-reproductive individuals are comparatively fewer. Population size is stable (iii) Urn-shaped Age Pyramid Proportion of reproductive age group is higher than the individuals in pre-reproductive age group. Number of post-reproductive individuals is also sizable. It is declining population with negative growth
