The provisional Census 2011 figures suggest that two contrasting demographic “nations” are emerging in
the country with all four south Indian States - Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu —
already having achieved the replacement level fertility of 2.1 children per women required to initiate the
process of population stabilisation, while the four large north Indian States — Bihar, Madhya Pradesh,
Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh — have still a long way to go before they achieve the required level.
(A) This emerging “demographic divide” could pose problems for socio-economic developments as well as
unity of the country.
(B) Replacement level fertility is the number of children a woman should have to replace herself and her
mate for a stable population.

death rate has fallen sharply because of improved public health as well as sanitation.
(D) The birth rate has remained high in the four large north Indian States of Bihar, M.P, Rajasthan and
U.P. due to slow progress towards socio-economic development as well as limited access to quality
reproductive health and contraceptive services.
(E) The use of ante-natal and post-natal as well as family planning services in the four large southern states
is satisfactory which leads to slower population growth.

ANSWERS
1. (3)
From statement I
Weight of each stone = 8 kg
Weight of 8 stones = 64 kg
From statement II
Weight of each stone = 16/(5-3) = 8 kg
Weight of 8 stones = 64 kg
2. (4)
Even after combining both statement we can say that A has only one daughter B and at least two sons D and
E, but the exact number of children of A cannot be found.
3. (2)
Using statement II alone, we can say that S is mother of P.
4. (3)
Using statement I alone
B is fourteenth from the left and seventeenth from the right. Hence number of children in the row = 14 + 17
– 1 = 30
Using statement II alone
D is thirteenth from the right end and eighteenth from the left end. Hence number of children in the row = 13
+ 18 – 1= 30
5. (5)
Using both the statement together
Number of pages read before Saturday = 3/5 of 150 = 90
Number of pages read after Saturday = 25
Number of pages read by Vishal on Saturday = 150 – 90 – 25 = 35
