2011 Census: India's Child Sex Ratio (0-6 Years)

The question asks for the sex ratio among children aged 0 to 6 years in India, according to the 2011 Census.

The sex ratio is defined as the number of females per 1,000 males. The formula is: $ \text{Sex Ratio} = \frac{\text{Number of Females}}{\text{Number of Males}} \times 1000 $

According to the official data released from the 2011 Census of India, the specific sex ratio for the population segment up to the age of 6 years was recorded.

  • The child sex ratio (0-6 years) in India, as per the 2011 Census, stood at 914 females per 1,000 males.

This figure reflects the number of girls for every thousand boys in that age bracket during the census period.

Therefore, the correct sex ratio according to the 2011 Census for the age group of 0-6 years is 914.
