Arrange the following districts of Madhya Pradesh in descending order based on their Scheduled Tribe (ST) population percentage as per Census 2011. Which sequence represents the correct order from highest to lowest ST population percentage?

  1. 1Alirajpur
  2. 2Jhabua
  3. 3Barwani
  4. 4Dindori

Answer

The correct descending order of districts by Scheduled Tribe population percentage as per Census 2011 is Alirajpur (89.0%), Jhabua (87.0%), Barwani (69.4%), and Dindori (64.7%).
According to Census 2011 data for Madhya Pradesh, Alirajpur has the highest Scheduled Tribe population proportion at 89.0%, followed by Jhabua at 87.0%, Barwani at 69.4%, and Dindori at 64.7%. Therefore, the correct sequence from highest to lowest starts with Alirajpur and progresses through Jhabua, Barwani, and Dindori.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Retrieve the ST population percentage for each specified district based on official Census 2011 data.
Alirajpur (~89.0%), Jhabua (~87.0%), Barwani (~69.4%), Dindori (~64.7%).
Establishing the precise proportional data is necessary to compare the districts.
2
Arrange the values in descending order (highest to lowest percentage).
Alirajpur (89.0%) > Jhabua (87.0%) > Barwani (69.4%) > Dindori (64.7%).
The question explicitly requires a descending arrangement.
