Concept:
The Census of India 2011 provides important demographic statistics regarding population, density, literacy, growth rate, and sex ratio.

Step 1: Examine Statement A. Uttar Pradesh had the highest population among all Indian states according to Census 2011. Therefore, Statement A is correct.

Step 2: Examine Statement B. The population density of India in Census 2011 was: \[ 382 \text{ persons per km}^2 \] and not \(284\). Hence, Statement B is incorrect.

Step 3: Examine Statement C. India's share in world population was approximately: \[ 17.5% \] and not \(27.76%\). Thus, Statement C is incorrect.

Step 4: Examine Statement D. Nagaland recorded the lowest decadal population growth rate in Census 2011. Therefore, Statement D is correct.

Step 5: Examine Statement E. Kerala had the highest sex ratio in India, not Meghalaya. Thus, Statement E is incorrect.

Step 6: Identify the correct statements. Only statements: \[ A \text{ and } D \] are correct.

Step 7: Conclusion. Therefore, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{\text{A \& D Only}} \]
