E. Rajasthan
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → D, E, A, C, B
(D) Haryana — child sex ratio below 875, the lowest band.
(E) Rajasthan — 876–900.
(A) Himachal Pradesh — 901–925.

Note: NTA dropped this question in its final answer key. As per Map 2 of NCERT, ‘Map of Child Sex Ratios (0-6 Years) Across States, 2011’, the five states fall in five different bands, so only Option (1) gives the order from the lowest to the highest.
