SSC CHSL 2023 PYQ — Question 42

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 7.1%. 

The Crude Death Rate represents the number of deaths occurring in a year per 1,000 people in the population. A CDR of 7.1 in 2011 for India means that for every 1,000 individuals in the country, approximately 7.1 deaths occurred during that year. This is a basic measure of mortality and reflects the overall health and living conditions of the population at that time. Factors such as age structure, healthcare facilities, sanitation, and prevalence of diseases influence the crude death rate. While it provides a general overview, it doesn't account for age-specific mortality or other demographic variations.
