Match List – I with List – II and select the correct answer from the codes given below : List - I (General Terms) List - II (Definitions)
I. Crude birth rate A. Births over deaths per thousand of population II. General fertility rate B. Number of deaths per thousand of population III. Natural increase of population C. Ratio between number of births and number of females in productive age IV. Death rate D. Ratio between the number of births and total population
Codes:
| I | II | III | IV |
| D | C | A | B |
Matching Population Demographics Terms
This question requires matching general population terms from List I with their specific definitions in List II.
Matching Terms with Definitions
Let's analyze each term and find its correct definition:
- Crude birth rate (I): This is the number of live births per 1,000 people in a population in a year. Definition D, "Ratio between the number of births and total population", accurately describes this.
- General fertility rate (II): This measures births relative to the number of women in childbearing age. Definition C, "Ratio between number of births and number of females in productive age", matches this concept.
- Natural increase of population (III): This refers to the population change due only to births and deaths. Definition A, "Births over deaths per thousand of population", defines this difference.
- Death rate (IV): This is the number of deaths per 1,000 individuals in a population over a year. Definition B, "Number of deaths per thousand of population", is the correct match.
Based on the analysis:
- I matches with D
- II matches with C
- III matches with A
- IV matches with B
The correct sequence matching List I to List II is therefore D C A B.
| List I Term | List II Definition | Match |
|---|---|---|
| I. Crude birth rate | D. Ratio between the number of births and total population | I - D |
| II. General fertility rate | C. Ratio between number of births and number of females in productive age | II - C |
| III. Natural increase of population | A. Births over deaths per thousand of population | III - A |
| IV. Death rate | B. Number of deaths per thousand of population | IV - B |
The correct code representing the matches (I II III IV) is D C A B.
Important Questions from Population Geography - Teaching
- Arrange the demographic cycle in sequential order:
A. Early Expanding (Decline of death rate while birth rate remains high)
B. Declining (Low death rates and birth rates fall below death rates)
C. High stationary (High birth and High death rate)
D. Low Stationary (Low birth and low death rate)
E. Late expanding (death rate declines and birth rate begins to fall)
Choose the correct answer from the options given below: - Consider the following statements and choose the correct option.
Statement (A): Investment in non-farm activities in rural areas can reduce the rural urban migration.
