A6.7 percent
B14.8 percent
C8.6 percent
D16.6 percent
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. 14.8 percent
1. The population chapter reports SC and ST shares for Gujarat.
2. Scheduled Tribes were 14.8 percent of Gujarat's population in 2011.
3. The 6.7 percent figure is the Scheduled Caste share, not ST, so it is a trap.
4. The 16.6 percent figure is the all-India SC proportion, unrelated to Gujarat's ST share.
5. Therefore Scheduled Tribes were 14.8 percent of Gujarat's population.
