Sample RBSE VU Geography Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the RBSE VU Geography exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Human geography is best defined as the study of:
A.Spatial organisation of human activities and human–environment relationships
B.Only the chemical composition of rocks
C.Only planetary orbits and solar radiation
D.Only deep-ocean trenches and mid-ocean ridges
Explanation: Human geography focuses on how people live, work, migrate, settle, and modify places, and how environment and society interact across space.
2Environmental determinism in human geography argues that:
A.Humans completely ignore the physical environment
B.Culture is determined only by language families
C.Technology has no influence on human adaptation
D.Physical environment largely shapes human culture and development
Explanation: Environmental determinism holds that climate, landforms, and other physical conditions largely determine patterns of human life and culture—an older approach later challenged by possibilism and neo-determinism.
3Possibilism emphasises that the physical environment:
A.Completely dictates one inevitable way of life everywhere
B.Has no influence on agriculture or settlement
C.Offers a range of possibilities within which humans choose ways of life
D.Can be ignored after industrialisation
Explanation: Possibilism (associated with the French school, e.g. Vidal de la Blache) stresses that nature presents opportunities and constraints, while culture and technology shape human choices among those possibilities.
4Neo-determinism, also called stop-and-go determinism, is most closely associated with:
A.Carl Sauer only
B.Griffith Taylor
C.Immanuel Kant only
D.Alfred Wegener
Explanation: Griffith Taylor proposed neo-determinism (stop-and-go determinism): nature sets limits that can slow or allow development, but humans can proceed when conditions and technology permit—neither pure determinism nor pure free choice.
5Arithmetic population density is calculated as:
A.Total population divided by total land area
B.Total population divided by arable land area only
C.Urban population divided by rural population
D.Births minus deaths in a year
Explanation: Arithmetic density = total population ÷ total land area. It shows average people per unit of land but does not reveal pressure on farmland specifically.
6Physiological density is preferred over arithmetic density when the goal is to assess:
A.Only the number of cities in a country
B.Only altitude of mountain ranges
C.Only ocean surface area
D.Population pressure on agricultural (arable) land
Explanation: Physiological density = population ÷ arable land. It better indicates how many people the cultivated land must support, which arithmetic density (using total area including deserts/mountains) can hide.
7World population is highly uneven mainly because people concentrate where:
A.Only magnetic poles are strongest
B.Only deserts cover entire continents
C.Climate, soils, water, and terrain favour livelihood and accessibility
D.Latitude is always above 70° N
Explanation: Most people live in coastal lowlands, river valleys, and mild climates with productive soils and water, while extreme deserts, high mountains, and ice caps support few permanent settlements.
8In the demographic transition model, Stage 2 is characterised mainly by:
A.Both birth and death rates very low and nearly equal
B.High birth rates with rapidly falling death rates, causing fast growth
C.Death rates higher than birth rates for long periods
D.Zero migration and zero natural change by definition
Explanation: Stage 2 (early expanding) keeps high fertility while mortality declines with better food, sanitation, and health—so natural increase peaks and population grows rapidly.
9A population pyramid with a very wide base and narrow top most clearly suggests:
A.A large share of young people and high potential for future growth
B.An extremely aged population with very low fertility only
C.Equal numbers in every age group
D.No children in the population
Explanation: A broad base means many children (high fertility); a narrow top means fewer elderly. Such structures are typical of high-growth, youthful populations.
10Sex ratio in population geography is commonly expressed as:
A.Only the number of births per square kilometre
B.Only the percentage of urban workers
C.Only average household income
D.Number of females per 1,000 males (as used in India) or males per 100 females internationally
Explanation: Sex ratio measures gender balance. Indian Census practice uses females per 1,000 males; many international tables use males per 100 females. Always check the convention used.
