Consider the table
Worker population ratio in India
2017 - 18
| Sex | Total | Rural | Urban |
|---|---|---|---|
| Men | 52.1 | 51.7 | 53.0 |
| Women | 16.5 | 17.5 | 14.2 |
| Total | 34.7 | 35.0 | 33.9 |
Identify the incorrect statement.
Solution
✅ Correct Option: 2
From the table, rural male minus female ratio = 51.7 minus 17.5 = 34.2, and urban male minus female ratio = 53.0 minus 14.2 = 38.8. The difference in participation rates between men and women is larger in urban areas, not rural, making statement (B) incorrect. Other statements are consistent with the data.
Note: Options (C) and (D) are worded awkwardly (phrases like non urban and non rural create tautologies), but statement (B) is clearly contradicted by the data.
