Q45
Each of the following statements pertains to the number of states with females outnumbering males in a given census year. Which of these statements is NOT correct?
Answer: C
Option 1 is true because from 1901 to 2001 the number of states where females outnumber males are either five or less than that.
Option 2 is true because from 1961 to 1971 this number changes from 4 to 1.
Option 4 is true because there are at least four states that have more females than males for all the censuses prior to 1971.
For four years from 1971 to 2001 this number remains 1.
∴ Option 3 is false.
Hence, option (c).
