1In the Indian Census, the sex ratio is conventionally defined as the number of:
A.Males per 1,000 females
B.Females per 1,000 males
C.Female births per 100 male births only
D.Literate females per 100 literate males
Explanation: The Indian Census expresses the sex ratio as females per 1,000 males—the standard demographic measure used for India’s population structure.
2Thomas Robert Malthus argued that population tends to grow geometrically while food supply grows in an:
A.Exponential progression at the same rate
B.Arithmetic progression
C.Logarithmic decline
D.Irregular random pattern only
Explanation: Malthus’s classic thesis contrasts geometric (exponential) population growth with arithmetic growth of means of subsistence—central to NCERT demographic theory discussions.
3The dependency ratio in demography primarily relates:
A.Urban residents to rural residents
B.Dependent age groups (young and/or elderly) to the working-age population
C.Literate people to illiterate people
D.Migrants to non-migrants
Explanation: Dependency ratios compare people in dependent ages (children and/or elderly) with those of working age—key for age structure and demographic dividend analysis.
4A ‘demographic dividend’ is most likely when a population has a relatively large share of:
A.Young and old dependants relative to workers for a long period
B.Working-age people relative to young and old dependants
C.Only very elderly people with few workers
D.Infants with almost no adults
Explanation: Demographic dividend refers to potential gains when a large working-age share coincides with fewer dependants—if health, education and employment support productive use of that window.
5In the classical demographic transition model, falling death rates while birth rates remain high is most characteristic of the stage associated with:
A.Pre-transition equilibrium with high birth and death rates only
B.Early transition with rapid natural increase
C.Post-transition equilibrium with low birth and death rates only
D.Complete population extinction
Explanation: Early demographic transition typically sees mortality decline before fertility falls, producing a period of rapid natural increase—widely used to frame India’s historical population growth.
6Infant mortality rate (IMR) conventionally measures deaths of infants under one year of age per:
A.1,000 live births in a year
B.100 households surveyed
C.10,000 adult males only
D.1,000 total population of all ages
Explanation: IMR is deaths of infants under age one per 1,000 live births in a given year—a key health and development indicator in Indian demography.
7Amartya Sen’s notion of ‘failure of entitlements’ is used in demography/social analysis mainly to explain:
A.Why geometric population growth always outruns food production
B.How people may starve even when food is available because they lack command over food
C.Why literacy automatically ends all famine
D.Why only deserts experience hunger
Explanation: Sen argued famines can occur without absolute food shortage when people lose legal, economic or social entitlements to obtain food—shifting focus from pure production failure.
8Life expectancy at birth is best defined as:
A.The legal retirement age fixed by the state
B.The average number of years a newborn is expected to live under current mortality conditions
C.The maximum age anyone has ever reached in a country
D.The average age of marriage in a society
Explanation: Life expectancy at birth summarises mortality by estimating average years of life for a newborn if current age-specific death rates persist—central to demographic structure discussions.
9Natural increase of population is most accurately described as:
A.Births minus deaths (excluding net migration)
B.Immigration minus emigration only
C.Urban growth minus rural growth only
D.Literacy increase minus illiteracy decrease
Explanation: Natural increase is the excess of births over deaths; overall population change also depends on net migration.
10The 1918–19 influenza pandemic is discussed in Indian demography mainly because it:
A.Ended the caste system permanently
B.Caused a sharp short-term rise in mortality affecting population growth
C.Introduced the first modern Census of India
D.Abolished all infectious diseases thereafter
Explanation: NCERT notes the influenza pandemic’s massive death toll as a major mortality shock that interrupted population growth trends in early twentieth-century India.
