Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(III)
(A) Crude Death Rate — this matches (II) per thousand.
(B) Sex Ratio — this matches (IV) females per thousand males.
(C) Population Growth Rate — this matches (I) percentage.
(D) Density of Population — this matches (III) persons per square kilometer.
NCERT (2026-27): “Death rate plays an active role in population change. Population growth occurs not only by increasing births rate but also due to decreasing death rate. Crude Death Rate (CDR) is a simple method of measuring mortality of any area. CDR is expressed in terms of number of deaths in a particular year per thousand of population in a particular region.” “Growth Rate of Population : This is the change of population expressed in percentage.” “Density of Population … Each unit of land has limited capacity to support people living on it. Hence, it is necessary to understand the ratio between the numbers of people to the size of land. This ratio is the density of population. It is usually measured in persons per sq km” Pre-rationalised NCERT: “Sex Ratio … The ratio between the number of women and men in the population is called the Sex Ratio. … In India, the sex ratio is worked out using the formula: … or the number of females per thousand males.” |
