The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Evaluate the Assertion The assertion states: "One in every six persons in the world is an Indian." - To verify this, we need to consider the global population and India's population. As of recent estimates, the world's population is over 7 billion, and India's population is approximately 1.2 billion. - If we calculate the fraction of the world population that is Indian, we can see that 1.2 billion is indeed close to one-sixth of the total world population (7 billion). Therefore, the assertion is true. ### Step 2: Evaluate the Reason The reason states: "In India, there are more females than males." - To assess this statement, we need to look at the gender ratio in India. Current statistics indicate that there are more males than females in India. The male-to-female ratio is skewed towards males, meaning that there are fewer females than males in the population. - Therefore, this reason is false. ### Step 3: Conclusion Now that we have evaluated both the assertion and the reason: - The assertion is true. - The reason is false. Thus, the correct option is: "If the assertion is true, the reason is false." ### Final Answer The assertion is true, but the reason is false. ---
