Children in the age group of 0-18 constitute ...................... percentage of the total population, according to 2011 census of India.
Answer: B
Children aged 0-18 made up about 39% of India's population in Census 2011.
Census 2011 counted about 472 million children below 18 years out of a total population of about 1.21 billion, which is roughly 39%. Of these, about 164 million were in the 0-6 age group, about 13.6% of the population.
46% overstates the share, and 28% and 18% are closer to the shares of narrower age groups (18% is close to the share of adolescents aged 10-19 alone), not of all children up to 18.
