If ‘N’ is the population density at time ‘t’, then its density at time ‘t+1’ is:
I. Nt+1 = Nt + [(B+I) – (D+E)]
II. B is a measure of Natality and D is a measure of Mortality
III. If (B+I) is less than (D+E), the population density will increase
 
1. Only I and II are correct 2. Only I and III are correct
3. Only II and III are correct 4. I, II and III are correct

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): The logistic growth model is more realistic for most animal populations in nature.
Reason (R): Resources for growth for most animal populations are finite and become limiting sooner or later in the nature.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
1. (A) is True but (R) is False.
2. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A).
3. (A) is False but (R) is True.
4. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not explain (A).
