1000 males in the population

Explanation:

- Sex ratio in India is defined as the number of females per 1000 males in the population.

- The sex ratio in a population is a demographic measure that expresses the number of females per 1000 males. It is a key indicator used to assess the balance of males and females in a given region or country.

- In the context of India, the sex ratio is calculated by dividing the number of females in the population by the number of males and then multiplying the result by 1000. For example, if there are 950 females for every 1000 males, the sex ratio would be 950 females per 1000 males.
