crude birth rate per 1000 population
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Crude birth rate = (live births ÷ total population) × 1,000 = (50,000 ÷ 28,00,000) × 1,000 = 17.857 per 1,000 population. The figure 178.57 would result from treating 28 lakh as 2.8 lakh, and 1.7857 gives the rate per 100 rather than per 1,000.
