Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → (A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(III)
(A) Crude Birth Rate — this matches (IV) B/P × 1000. B is the number of live births in the year and P is the mid-year population.
(B) Density — this matches (I) Population/Area. Density is the number of people per unit of land.
(C) Crude Death Rate — this matches (II) D/P × 1000. D is the number of deaths in the year.
(D) Sex Ratio — this matches (III) Female Population/Male Population × 1000. In India, the sex ratio is the number of females per thousand males.
Note: Item (D) is taken from the pre-rationalised NCERT book. The latest edition (2026-27) does not have this part. An extract of the pre-rationalised NCERT book is given below for the benefit of students.
