A919
B943
C920
D890
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. 919
1. Sex ratio is the number of females per 1000 males.
2. Gujarat's sex ratio in Census 2011 was 919, slightly down from 920 in 2001.
3. The 943 figure is the national sex ratio for 2011, not the state's, so it is ruled out.
4. The 890 figure is the child sex ratio of Gujarat, a different measure.
5. Therefore Gujarat's sex ratio in 2011 was 919.
