SSC CGL - 05 Dec 2022 - Shift 1 • General Awareness • Q35

According to census 2001, sex ratio is ______ females per 1000 males.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 933.

According to Census 2001, the sex ratio in India was 933 females per 1000 males. 

This figure represented a slight improvement from the previous Census of 1991, which had a sex ratio of 927. While the overall ratio showed a marginal increase, it was a point of concern that the child sex ratio (0-6 years) had declined. This data is crucial for understanding India's demographic trends and the ongoing challenges related to gender balance and social well-being.
