Question

The state with the least population is _____.
A- Goa
B- Sikkim
C- Arunachal Pradesh
D- Mizoram

Answer 1

Hint:It is also the second smallest state in India, in addition to being the least populous state. The Khangchendzonga National Park - a UNESCO World Heritage Site - covers nearly 35 percent of the province.

Complete answer:
In northeastern India, Sikkim is a province. In the north and northeast, it borders Tibet, Bhutan in the east, Nepal in the west, and West Bengal in the south. Sikkim is also near the Siliguri Corridor of India, close to Bangladesh. Sikkim, with a population of 6.9 lakhs, is the least populated and second smallest among the Indian nations.
Sikkim is a part of the Eastern Himalayas and is known for its biodiversity, including alpine and subtropical climates, as well as hosting Kangchenjunga, India's highest peak and Earth's third highest.
Sikkim's capital and largest city is Gangtok.
Sikkim accounts for India's largest share of the production of cardamom and is the second largest producer of spices in the world after Guatemala. Sikkim accomplished its goal of transforming its farming to entirely organic between 2003 and 2016, and became the first state in India to achieve this distinction. It is also among the most environmentally conscious states in India, having banned plastic water bottles and polystyrene items "in any government functions and meetings" (throughout the state).

Hence the correct answer is option ‘B’.

Note:The population of Goa is 15.8 lakhs.
The population of Arunachal Pradesh is 12.6 lakhs.
The population of Mizoram is 11.2 lakhs.
These are all larger than the population of Sikkim.
