A) Its per capita income is maximum
B) Its national income is maximum
C) Its national wealth is maximum
D) None of these
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
[a] The optimum theory of population was propounded by Edwin Caiman in his book Wealth published in 1924 and popularised by Robbins, Dalton and Carr-Saunders. Unlike the Malthusian theory, the optimum theory does not establish relationship between population growth and food supply. Rather, it is concerned with the relation between the size of population and production of wealth. To Dalton, "Optimum population is that which gives the maximum income per head."
