[amp_mcq option1=”Among the highest” option2=”Around the national average” option3=”Among the lowest” option4=”HDI is not calculated for individual states” correct=”option1″]
The correct answer is: A) Among the highest.
Karnataka has the 6th highest HDI among Indian states, with a value of 0.734. This is higher than the national average of 0.647. The HDI is a composite statistic of life expectancy, education, and per capita income indicators, which are used to rank countries and territories by level of human development.
Option B is incorrect because Karnataka’s HDI is higher than the national average.
Option C is incorrect because Karnataka’s HDI is not among the lowest.
Option D is incorrect because HDI is calculated for individual states.
