Q.If any population has equal birth-rate and death-rate then its age pyramid X, vital index Y and population is Z

(a) X = Bell-shaped, Y = 100, Z = Stable
(b) X = Triangular, Y = < 100, Z = Stable
(c) X = Urn-Shaped, Y = > 100, Z = Declining

Equal birth and death rates give a vital index of 100, a bell-shaped age pyramid, and a stable (non-growing, non-declining) population.

Vital index = (natality/mortality) x 100. If births equal deaths, this ratio is 1, so vital index = 100. A population's age-pyramid shape reflects its growth trend: a broad-based triangular pyramid marks an expanding population (many young, few old), an urn-shape (narrow base) marks a declining population, and a bell-shaped pyrami …
