2. Population density is calculated as population per unit area (usually per sq. km).
3. According to the 1991 Census data:
- Sikkim had a population density significantly lower than the other three states, owing to its mountainous terrain and relatively small population spread over its area.
- Nagaland, Meghalaya, and Manipur also have hilly terrain but had higher population densities compared to Sikkim in 1991.
4. Therefore, Sikkim had the lowest population density among the given options.
