               6       Kerala has a low infant mortality rate.  What could be the        1          10
                       reason?  Find the correct answer from the following:
                       a. Kerala has a low infant mortality rate because all the girls
                       are trained at the primary level schooling to look after a new
                       born child.
                       b. Because most of the girls are nurses in Kerala.
                       c. Because Kerala has very high female literacy rate and
                       adequate health facilities are available for both mothers and
                       children.

               Sr.                                Question                               Marks  Page
               No.                                                                                No.
               1       Q- What do you mean by Literacy Rate?                             1        10
               2       Q- Kerala, with lower per capita income has a better  1                    10, 11
                       human  development  ranking  than  Punjab.  However,  it
                       would be wrong to say that per capita income is not a
                       useful  criterion  at  all.  It  has  some  limitations.  But  this
                       does not imply that it is not  useful at  all.To counter the
                       inadequacy  of  this  average,  the  Human  Development
                       Index  (HDI)  is  used.  The  HD  uses  a  combination  of
                       development  factors  such  as  health,  education,  income
                       for comparison.
                       Analyze  the  Human  Development  Comparison  given
                       above, considering one of the following correct option:
                       A.  They hide disparities.  Although averages are useful
                       for comparison.
                       B.    Per  capita  income  is  one  of  the  development
                       factors and cannot be done away with.
                       C.    Per  capita  income  is  useful  for  comparing  the
                       money index of states.
                       D.  Both B and C
               3       Q-‘Money cannot buy all the goods and services that one           3        11
                       needs to live well.’ Explain.
               4       Q- Find the Correct option - Money can                            3        11
