Question

State whether the following sentences are right or wrong
The sex ratio is high in Brazil.

Hint:

✅ Right – Brazil’s sex ratio is higher than India’s.

Answer 1

The sex ratio is high in Brazil.

Correct Answer: False

Step 1: Sex Ratio in Brazil

Brazil’s sex ratio is roughly balanced. At birth, there are about 1.05 males per female, but overall, females slightly outnumber males because of higher female life expectancy.

Step 2: Comparison with Other Countries

Some countries, like Qatar or India, show more skewed sex ratios. Brazil, however, follows global norms and does not have an unusually high ratio.

\[ \textbf{Brazil has a balanced sex ratio, not a high one.} \]
