A.Percentage of females in the total population
B.Number of males per 1,000 females
C.Number of female births per 100 male births only
D.Number of females per 1,000 males
Explanation: The Indian Census defines the sex ratio as the number of females per 1,000 males in the population—the standard measure used when discussing India’s demographic structure.
2Which year is widely treated as India’s demographic divide (when the death rate began a sustained fall and population growth accelerated)?
A.1911
B.1951
C.1931
D.1921
Explanation: 1921 is commonly described as India’s year of the demographic divide: after the influenza decade, mortality fell more steadily and population growth entered a new phase.
3The term demography is classically associated with which scholar who coined/popularised it in the nineteenth century?
A.B.S. Guha
B.G.S. Ghurye
C.M.N. Srinivas
D.Achille Guillard
Explanation: Achille Guillard is credited with coining the term demography (from Greek demos and graphein) for the statistical study of populations.
4Infant mortality rate (IMR) refers to the number of deaths of infants under one year of age per:
A.100 live births in a year
B.1,000 live births in a year
C.10,000 total population
D.1,000 total population
Explanation: IMR is the number of deaths of children under one year of age per 1,000 live births in a given year—a key vital rate in formal demography.
5Thomas Malthus argued that population tends to grow in a geometric progression while food supply tends to grow in a:
A.Geometric progression as well
B.Logarithmic progression only
C.Arithmetic progression
D.Exponential food surplus always
Explanation: Malthus famously contrasted geometric (exponential) population growth with arithmetic growth of food/subsistence, creating pressure checked by positive and preventive checks.
6The dependency ratio compares the size of the dependent population (children and elderly) to the size of the:
A.Illiterate population only
B.Urban population only
C.Working-age / economically active population
D.Female population only
Explanation: The dependency ratio relates young and old dependents to the working-age population, indicating the burden of support on those of productive ages.
7‘Demographic dividend’ refers mainly to a phase when:
A.The share of working-age people is relatively high compared with dependents
B.Everyone is elderly and retired
C.Birth rates and death rates are both permanently zero
D.Only rural population grows while cities disappear
Explanation: Demographic dividend describes a window when a large working-age share (with fewer dependents) can boost growth if education, health and jobs are available.
8In the theory of demographic transition, Stage 2 is typically characterised by:
A.High birth rates and high death rates both stable
B.Falling death rates while birth rates remain relatively high, producing rapid growth
C.Very low birth and death rates with zero natural increase always
D.Only migration with no natural change
Explanation: Classic demographic transition Stage 2 features mortality decline ahead of fertility decline, so natural increase rises and population grows rapidly.
9The Global Influenza pandemic of 1918–19 is discussed in Indian demography mainly as an example of:
A.A purely cultural festival cycle
B.Epidemic/pandemic disease sharply raising mortality and affecting population growth
C.A land-reform statute
D.A television soap-opera plot
Explanation: Textbook demography highlights epidemic and pandemic disease—including the 1918–19 influenza pandemic—as mortality shocks that shaped population trends, including around India’s demographic divide.
10Formal demography is best described as the study of population that emphasises:
A.Only literary criticism of novels
B.Quantitative measurement of size, structure, and vital rates
C.Only religious ritual calendars
D.Only party election manifestos
Explanation: Formal demography focuses on statistical measurement—size, composition, fertility, mortality, migration—while social demography links population processes to social structures and culture.
