Matching Demographic Terms

This question involves matching key demographic indicators from List I with their correct definitions provided in List II.

Understanding Demographic Indicators

Each term relates to a specific aspect of a population:

  • Literacy (a): Refers to the ability of individuals to read and write. This matches definition iii. Number of people who can read and write.
  • Infant mortality (b): Measures the number of deaths among infants. This corresponds to definition iv. Number of children who die in their infancy.
  • Life expectancy (c): Indicates the average number of years a person is expected to live. This matches definition ii. Number of years a person lives.
  • Age at marriage (d): Pertains to the age at which individuals typically get married. This matches definition i. Age at which a girl is married.

Determining the Correct Code

By pairing each term from List I with its definition from List II, we establish the following matches:

a â  iii
b â  iv
c â  ii
d â  i

This sequence of matches forms the code a-iii, b-iv, c-ii, d-i.
