The correct Answer is:
To determine when India's population crossed 1 billion, we can analyze the provided options step by step: 1. **Understanding the Options**: We have four options to consider: - May 2001 - December 1999 - May 2000 - December 1991 2. **Evaluating Each Option**: - **May 2001**: The transcript states that in May 2001, India's population was 107.5 crore. Since 1 billion is equivalent to 100 crore, this means that by May 2001, India had already crossed the 1 billion mark. - **December 1999**: The transcript mentions that in December 1999, India's population was 99 crore, which is less than 1 billion. Therefore, this option is incorrect. - **May 2000**: According to the transcript, May 2000 is significant because it was the year when India's population registered 100 crore, which means it officially crossed the 1 billion mark. - **December 1991**: The population in December 1991 was reported to be 89.13 crore, which is also below 1 billion. Thus, this option is incorrect. 3. **Conclusion**: Based on the evaluation of the options, the correct answer is **May 2000**, as this is when India's population first crossed the 1 billion threshold.
