Direction: A residential sector planned over an area of 100 hectares has been divided into various plots, each having one dwelling unit with an aver age household size of 5 persons. Remaining area is devoted for schools, roads, parks, shops etc.
| Plot size | Number |
| 500 sqm | 500 |
| 300 sqm | 500 |
| 200 sqm | 1000 |
-
The gross density of the residential sector in persons per hectare would be
-
- 100
- 150
- 200
- 250
Correct Option: A
Total Population = Total No. of Units × Average Household Size
= (500 + 500 + 1000) × 5 = 10,000 persons
Gross Density = Total Population / Total Land Area = 10,000 persons / 100 hectares = 100 pph
Plot Size does not matter as Net Density has not been asked.
