The correct answer is N. Key Points Sex Ratio- The sex ratio at birth is the number of females born per thousand males. It is an important indicator to map the gender gap in a population. Sex Composition of the human population is one of the basic demographic characteristics; as changes in sex composition largely reflect the underlying socio-economic and cultural patterns of society in different ways. According to figures of 2011 Census, out of 1210.1 million population, 623.7 million are male and 586.4 million are females. Thus, the overall sex ratio for Indian Population according to the 2011 Census, is 943. This suggests that the number of females is quite less as compared to males In other words, the sex ratio in the country had always remained unfavorable to females The sex-ratio was 933 in the previous census 2001. Highest Sex Ratio in the country- Kerala (1084). State Sex Ratio Arunachal Pradesh 920 Assam 954 Meghalaya 986 Nagaland 931 Among the 4 states, Meghalaya has highest sex ratio. Hence, the claim of N is correct.
