Answer 1

(ii) It can be observed that the maximum number of girls per thousand boys (i.e.,970) is for ST and the minimum number of girls per thousand boys (i.e., 910) is for urban. Also, the number of girls per thousand boys is greater in rural areas than that in urban areas, backward districts than that in non-backward districts, SC and ST than that in non-SC/ST.
