India's sex ratio of birth at the national level has improved from 918 in 2014-2015 to ............ in 2023-2024.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Option 1: 945 -> This figure represents a significant improvement but exceeds the actual recorded improvement in sex ratio at birth during this period.

Option 2: 930 -> This reflects the actual improvement in India's sex ratio at birth, showing an increase of 12 points from 918 in 2014-2015 to 930 in 2023-2024.

Option 3: 990 -> This would represent an unrealistically high improvement of 72 points within this timeframe, which is not supported by demographic data.

Option 4: 958 -> This figure shows an improvement of 40 points, which is higher than the actual recorded increase in the sex ratio at birth.


Hence, Option 2: 930 -> India's sex ratio at birth has shown gradual improvement over the years due to various government initiatives like Beti Bachao Beti Padhao and strict implementation of the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PCPNDT) Act, resulting in the ratio improving from 918 to 930 -> correct
