A country with a high rate of population growth took measures to reduce it. The figure below shows age-sex pyramids of populations. A and B are twenty years apart. Select the correct interpretation about them: 
 
Interpretations

1. 'A' is more recent and shows a slight reduction in the growth rate
2. 'B' is an earlier pyramid and shows stabilised growth rate
3. 'B' is more recent showing that the population is very young
4. 'A' is the earlier pyramid and no change has occurred in the growth rate

When will the population density increase, under special conditions? 
When the number of:
