Q3. Answer the following questions based on paragraph reading:

People are a nation’s greatest resource. Nature’s bounty becomes significant only when people find
it useful. It is people with their demands and abilities that turn them into ‘resources’. Hence, human
resource is the ultimate resource. Healthy, educated and motivated people develop resources as per
their requirements. Human resources like other resources are not equally distributed over the world.
They differ in their educational levels, age and sex. Their numbers and characteristics also keep
changing. The way in which people are spread across the earth surface is known as the pattern of
population distribution. More than 90 per cent of the world’s population lives in about 30 per cent
of the land surface. The distribution of population in the world is extremely uneven. Some areas are
very crowded and some are sparely populated. The crowded areas are south and south east Asia,
Europe and north eastern North America. Very few people live in high latitude areas, tropical
deserts, high mountains and areas of equatorial forests.
