TNPSC Group-I 2021 · Question 2 of 148

Statement 1: A major issue highlighted by census 2011 is that there are around 50 lakh less children in age group 0-6 years in census 2011 than census 2001. Statement 2: The population growth rate between 2001 and 2011 is lower than the population growth rate between 1991 and 2001.

  1. AS1 and S2 are correct but S2 does not explain S1Correct
  2. BS1 is wrong; S2 is correct
  3. CBoth S1 and S2 are wrong
  4. DS1 and S2 are correct and S2 explains the S1

Answer: A. S1 and S2 are correct but S2 does not explain S1

Explanation

The 0-6 population fell by about 50 lakh between 2001 and 2011 (true) and decadal growth slowed from 21.5% to 17.7% (true), but the slower growth rate does not explain the absolute decline in child population.
