  1. A biologist studied the population of rats in a barn. He found that the average natality was 250, average mortality 240, immigration 20 and emigration 30. The net increase in population is:
    1. 15
    2. 05
    3. zero
    4. 10
Correct Option: C

Net increase in population:
(Natality + Immigration) – (Mortality + Emigration)
(250 + 20) – (240 + 30) = 270 – 270 = 0
