\nStatement D is not correct regarding sex composition.
\n<\/section>\n
\nSex ratio is a key demographic indicator. It can be expressed in different ways, and ratios vary globally and regionally.
\n<\/section>\n
\nA) In many countries (e.g., USA, China), sex ratio is expressed as the number of males per thousand females. This statement is correct.
\nB) In India, the sex ratio is traditionally expressed as the number of females per thousand males. This statement is correct.
\nC) According to demographic data, the world sex ratio is approximately 102 males per 100 females, meaning slightly more males than females globally. This statement is correct or very close to accepted figures.
\nD) The statement “In Asia, there is high sex ratio” is a broad generalization. While large and populous countries like China and India have sex ratios significantly skewed towards males (contributing to a higher average for the continent compared to the global average), sex ratios vary greatly across the Asian continent. Many countries in Asia have sex ratios near or below 100 (meaning roughly equal numbers or more females). Therefore, stating there is a “high sex ratio” across the entire continent is an oversimplification and not universally correct for all of Asia. It might be considered relatively higher than some other continents, but it’s not uniformly high across all Asian countries. This broad generalization makes the statement less accurate than the specific factual statements in A, B, and C.
