The table above shows 5 countries and their populations in 2001 and 2005. Which country has the highest population growth rate?

(A) A
(B) B
(C) C
(D) D
(E) E

Do it by rough percent, not exact division.

For A the jump is about +160 on about 1,300, so it is clearly well under 20%.

For B: from about 1,000 to about 1,360. An increase of a bit more than 300 on a base of 1,000 is a bit more than 30%.

For C the jump is about 60 on a bit less than 300, so the increase is a bit more than 20%.

For D: from about 200 to about 250. That’s clearly about a 25% increase (50 is a quarter of 200).

For E the jump is about 40 on a bit more than 160, so the increase is less than 25%.

So the largest growth rate is obviously for country B.

Answer: B.
