LIST-I (Concept)	LIST-II (Definition)
A. Fertility Rate	I. refers to the number of deaths of babies before the age of one year per 1000 live births.
B. Infant Mortality Rate	II. refers to the number of females per 1000 males in a given area at a specified time.
C. Sex ratio	III. refers to the number of live births per 1000 women in the child-bearing age group
D. Dependency ratio	IV. measure comparing the portion of a population which is composed of dependents with the portion that is in the working age group

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV
• B. A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV
• C. A-I, B-II, C-IV, D-III
• D. A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II

Hint:

Sex ratio is females per 1000 males, so C matches II.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
These are four basic demographic measures. Each one has a fixed meaning, so we match them one by one.

Step 2: Match A (Fertility Rate):
Fertility rate is the number of live births per 1000 women in the child-bearing age group. This is statement III. So A matches III.

Step 3: Match B (Infant Mortality Rate):
Infant mortality rate is the number of deaths of babies before the age of one year per 1000 live births. This is statement I. So B matches I.

Step 4: Match C (Sex ratio):
Sex ratio is the number of females per 1000 males in a given area at a specified time. This is statement II. So C matches II.

Step 5: Match D (Dependency ratio):
Dependency ratio compares the dependent part of the population with the working age part. This is statement IV. So D matches IV.

Step 6: Compare with the options:
The full match is A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV. Option 1 gives exactly this. Options 2 and 3 pair A with I, and option 4 pairs B with IV, which are wrong.

Step 7: Final Answer:
The correct match is A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV. This is option 1. \[ \boxed{\text{Option 1}} \]
