Cevap

The criteria defining a Census Town in India are a minimum population of 5,000, at least 75% of the male main working population engaged in non-agricultural sector work, and a minimum population density of 400 persons per sq. km.
According to the Census of India 2011, urban settlements that do not possess a municipality, corporation, cantonment board, or notified town area committee (Statutory Towns) are classified as 'Census Towns' if they meet three criteria simultaneously: (1) a minimum population of 5,000, (2) at least 75% of the male main working population engaged in non-agricultural pursuits, and (3) a density of population of at least 400 persons per square kilometer.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the classification categories of urban settlements in Census of India
Urban areas are divided into Statutory Towns (notified under law by state/UT governments) and Census Towns (demographically identified).
To differentiate legal administrative urban status from demographic census-defined urban status.
2
Examine the three specific demographic thresholds for Census Towns
1. Minimum population of 5,000. 2. At least 75% of male main workers in non-agricultural activities. 3. Minimum population density of 400 persons per sq. km.
All three criteria must be fulfilled simultaneously for a village to be classified as a Census Town.
3
Evaluate the choices against the verified 2011 Census criteria
The statement specifying 5,000 minimum population, 75% male main non-agricultural workers, and 400 persons/sq. km density is accurate.
Matching exact census definitions ensures correct identification.
