Explanation / Answer

24. would exceed the ability of people to feed themselves.

The population growth is geometric progression and food growth is arithmetic progression i.e. food increases in 1,2,3,4,5,6 manner and population increases in 1,2,4,8,16 manner so the population will outrun the food growth.

25. Neo-Malthusians

26. high rates of economic production will lower the birth rate.

The population growth is high in first 2 stages of transition and in later the birth rate and death rate decreases. The birth rate decreases due to societies demand of having educated and well provided society members.

In the second stage due to medical advancement death rate falls and birth rate still remains the same which increase population.
