According to Census 2011, which of the following districts has the least sex ratio?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Daman.
According to Census 2011, the district with the least sex ratio among the given options is Daman, with only 533 females per 1,000 males, the lowest in India. The low ratio in Daman is mainly due to the high number of male migrant workers employed in industries and construction sectors.
Other options:
-
Chandigarh had a sex ratio of 818, which is below the national average but still much higher than Daman.
-
Surat in Gujarat recorded 787 females per 1,000 males, also affected by industrial migration.
-
Kargil in Ladakh had a much healthier sex ratio of 775 females per 1,000 males, influenced by its smaller, rural population.
Hence, Daman ranks lowest in sex ratio as per Census 2011.
