As per Census 2011, which one of the following is not correct?

Correct option is E

The correct answer is (e) None of the above/More than one of the above

Explanation:

• Statement B is incorrect: The lowest sex ratio among Indian states (as per 2011 Census) was recorded in Haryana (879 females per 1000 males), not Punjab.
• Statement D is incorrect: The lowest female literacy rate was recorded in Bihar (51.5%), followed by Rajasthan (52.1%). Since Rajasthan is not the absolute lowest, this statement is also technically flawed in a strict sense, though often cited in general terms; however, B is explicitly false.
• Since more than one statement holds incorrect or disputed absolute values, option E is chosen.

Information Booster:

• The population density of India in 2011 was indeed 382 persons per square kilometer (Statement A is correct).
• Meghalaya recorded the highest decadal growth rate among states at 27.95% (Statement C is correct).

Additional Knowledge:

The density of population of India is 382 persons/km² (Option a)

• This is a factually correct statement according to Census 2011.

The lowest sex ratio has been recorded in Punjab (Option b)

• This is an incorrect statement; Haryana holds the lowest state sex ratio.

Meghalaya has the highest decadal population growth rate during the years 2001-2011 (Option c)

• This is a factually correct statement.

The lowest female literacy rate is found in Rajasthan (Option d)

• This is incorrect as Bihar holds the lowest female literacy rate at 51.5%.

So the correct answer is (e)
