Which option shows the mistake of mixing growth and sex ratio?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Treating population growth as the male-female ratio

Direct answer: A. Population growth and sex ratio are different demographic ideas. Growth describes how the total population changes over a period; births, deaths and migration can contribute to that change. Sex ratio describes the relationship between females and males, commonly expressed in India as the number of females per 1,000 males. To identify the mistake, ask what is being measured: change over time means growth, while comparison of male and female numbers means sex ratio. A incorrectly treats growth as a male-female ratio. B correctly describes growth, C correctly separates the indicators, and D correctly identifies major components that influence growth. Memory cue: growth asks “how many changed?”; sex ratio asks “how are males and females balanced?”
