1In Indian Census practice, the sex ratio is conventionally expressed as:
A.Percentage of females in the total population
B.Number of females per 1,000 males
C.Number of female births per 100 male births only
D.Number of males per 1,000 females
Explanation: In India, the Census defines the sex ratio as the number of females per 1,000 males in a population. This is the standard textbook measure used when discussing demographic structure of Indian society.
2The dependency ratio in demography primarily compares:
A.Agricultural workers to industrial workers
B.Non-working-age population to working-age population
C.Rural population to urban population
D.Literate population to illiterate population
Explanation: The dependency ratio relates people in dependent age groups (commonly children and the elderly) to the working-age population. It is a key indicator when discussing age structure and the demographic dividend.
3Which stage of the classical demographic transition model is most associated with a rapid fall in death rates while birth rates remain high?
A.Early expanding stage with high births and falling deaths
B.Declining stage with deaths exceeding births only
C.Low stationary stage with low birth and death rates
D.High stationary stage with high birth and death rates
Explanation: In the early expanding stage, mortality falls with public health and food improvements while fertility stays high, producing rapid population growth — a core idea in NCERT demographic structure discussions.
4Malthus argued that population tends to grow in a geometric progression while food supply grows in an:
A.Arithmetic progression
B.Logarithmic decline only
C.Exponential progression faster than population
D.Unrelated random pattern
Explanation: Thomas Robert Malthus famously contrasted geometric population growth with arithmetic growth of subsistence. The claim is a classic demographic theory reference in sociology textbooks.
5A favourable ‘demographic dividend’ is most likely when a country has a relatively large share of:
A.Working-age adults in the population
B.Only urban elderly residents
C.Only rural infants under one year
D.Dependent children and elderly combined
Explanation: A demographic dividend refers to potential economic gains when the working-age share is high relative to dependents, provided education and employment opportunities exist.
6In discussions of India’s population, literacy is usually treated as:
A.A social indicator linked to education and opportunity
B.Unrelated to social development debates
C.Identical to the sex ratio by definition
D.A purely biological trait fixed at birth
Explanation: Literacy is a key social demographic indicator reflecting access to schooling and wider opportunities; NCERT links it to inequality and development, not biology.
7Rural–urban distribution of population is important in Indian sociology mainly because it helps explain:
A.Only religious conversion rates
B.Patterns of occupation, services, and social change
C.Only caste endogamy rules
D.The legal definition of citizenship
Explanation: Where people live shapes livelihoods, access to services, migration, and exposure to industrial and cultural change — core themes in the demographic structure chapter.
8Which of the following best describes ‘fertility’ as used in demography?
A.The number of deaths per thousand people only
B.The ratio of factories to villages
C.The actual level of childbearing in a population
D.The share of land under cultivation
Explanation: Fertility refers to actual childbearing performance in a population (distinct from fecundity as biological capacity). It is central to understanding population growth.
9A declining child sex ratio is sociologically significant mainly because it may indicate:
A.Higher preference for male children and gender bias
B.The end of all migration to cities
C.Automatic increase in literacy among men only
D.Abolition of all forms of social stratification
Explanation: A falling child sex ratio is widely discussed as reflecting son preference and gender discrimination practices, making it a key inequality-linked demographic indicator.
10Which statement best captures a sociological view of India’s population size?
A.Population size is decided solely by climate each year
B.Population statistics are irrelevant to inequality studies
C.Population is only a natural fact with no social causes
D.Population processes are shaped by social, economic, and cultural factors
Explanation: NCERT treats demography as socially embedded: birth, death, and migration patterns respond to economy, education, gender norms, health systems, and policy — not pure nature alone.
