What will be the approximate number of pregnant women in a year in a Sub Health Centre area with a population of 4800 and birth rate of 25–

Correct option is C

Sol. Formula: Expected births = (Population × Birth rate) / 1000 = (4800 × 25) / 1000 = 120 births/year So, the number of pregnant women ≈ 120–130, considering early pregnancies, abortions, etc.
Explanation of each option:
· (a) 90–100 – Too low based on the birth rate and population given. Would reflect a much lower birth rate.
· (b) 100–110 – Still slightly below the expected number using the standard calculation.
· (c) 120–130 – Correct answer. Calculated directly from the birth rate of 25 per 1000 and a population of 4800.
· (d) 140–150 – This would apply to a higher birth rate or larger population than given in the question.
