Malthus&#8217;s population theory is based on the idea that population will grow exponentially, while food production will only grow arithmetically. This means that, at some point, population will outstrip food production, and there will be a Malthusian catastrophe. The diminishing return law is a law of economics that states that, as more and more resources are used to produce a good, the marginal productivity of those resources will decrease. This means that, as more and more people are added to the workforce, the amount of food that they can produce will eventually decrease.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Statement (ii): The principle of optimum population compared population with food grains.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This statement is incorrect. The principle of optimum population is based on the idea that there is a certain population size that is optimal for a given society. This population size is the one that maximizes the well-being of the society.
