arrange the following States in descending order of child sex ratio according to 2011 Census ?
(i) Maharashtra
(ii) Gujarat
(iii) Manipur
(iv) Andhra Pradesh
Codes :
Answer: A
In descending order of child sex ratio the States are Andhra Pradesh, Manipur, Maharashtra and Gujarat, that is (iv), (iii), (i), (ii).
The 2011 Census gave Andhra Pradesh the highest child sex ratio (0-6 years) of the four, about 939 girls per 1,000 boys. Manipur was next at about 930, then Maharashtra at about 894 and Gujarat at about 890.
The second option puts Gujarat first, and the third option puts Manipur above Andhra Pradesh and Gujarat before Maharashtra in the wrong places. The fourth option lists (iv) twice, so it cannot be a valid order. Only the first one matches the census figures.
