What was the child sex ratio (0-6 years) of Gujarat as per Census 2011?

A890
B919
C918
D883
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. 890
1. Child sex ratio covers the 0-6 years age group. 2. In Gujarat it rose from 883 in 2001 to 890 in 2011. 3. The 919 figure is the overall sex ratio of Gujarat, not the child sex ratio, so it is a trap. 4. The 918 figure is the national child sex ratio for 2011, not the state's. 5. The 883 figure belongs to Census 2001, not 2011. 6. Therefore Gujarat's 2011 child sex ratio was 890. _Source: Socio-Economic Review 2019-20, Gujarat State (Directorate of Economics & Statistics), p.48_
