Practice objective / multiple choice question 29 from the 2017 Gce Model Questions Vol1 Geography examination.
Two towns, A and B, each operate a secondary school. The catchment radius of each school is 20 km. The centres of the towns are 30 km apart. The surrounding rural area has a uniform population density of 150 persons per km². Residents attend the nearer school. A secondary school is considered viable if it enrolls at least 5 000 students, and secondary‑school‑age children constitute 15 % of the local population. What is the minimum number of persons that must live in the exclusive catchment area of town A (i.e., the area within 20 km of A but outside the overlapping 20 km circle of B) for its school to be viable? Give your answer rounded up to the nearest whole person.
