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

Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): When resources in the habitat are unlimited, the population grows in an exponential or geometric fashion.
Reason (R): When resources in the habitat are unlimited, each species has the ability to realise fully its innate potential to grow in number.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A).
2. (A) is True but (R) is False
3. (A) is False but (R) is True         
4. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A).

The correct equation for exponential population growth will be:
1. dN/dt = r + N
2. dN/dt = r/N
3. dN/dt = r N
4. dN/dt = r – N
