Cevap

The correct statements are that the Scheduled Tribe population in India recorded a higher sex ratio (990) than the national overall average (943), and that Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi, and Puducherry have no officially notified Scheduled Tribe population.
The statement highlighting that the Scheduled Tribe population recorded a higher sex ratio (990) than the national average (943) is correct because traditional tribal social structures reflect better gender parity. Furthermore, the statement specifying that Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi, and Puducherry have no officially notified Scheduled Tribe population is accurate per the presidential notifications and Census 2011 figures.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate the statement regarding Scheduled Tribe sex ratio
In Census 2011, the sex ratio among Scheduled Tribes was recorded at 990 females per 1,000 males, compared to the overall national sex ratio of 943. Thus, this statement is correct.
Tribal societies in India historically exhibit less pronounced gender discrimination, resulting in a higher sex ratio than the national average.
2
Evaluate the statement on states/UTs without notified Scheduled Tribe population
Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi, and Puducherry have zero notified Scheduled Tribe populations as per Census 2011 records. Thus, this statement is correct.
Presidential Orders issued under Article 342 of the Indian Constitution do not notify any community as Scheduled Tribes for these specific states and UTs.
3
Evaluate the statement regarding state-wise decadal growth rates
Meghalaya recorded the highest decadal population growth rate among states (27.95%), followed by Arunachal Pradesh (26.03%). Bihar recorded 25.42%. Thus, the statement claiming Bihar was highest is incorrect.
Confusing overall absolute population additions with percentage decadal growth leads to misidentifying the top-ranking state.
4
Evaluate the statement regarding the child sex ratio trend
The child sex ratio (0–6 years) dropped from 927 in 2001 to 919 in 2011. The value 943 refers to the overall sex ratio in 2011. Thus, this statement is incorrect.
Conflating overall sex ratio figures with child sex ratio metrics leads to wrong assertions about demographic trends.
