Explanation
Statement D is INCORRECT. Rajasthan's male literacy rate (79.2%) is BELOW, not above, the national average male literacy rate (82.1%) as per Census 2011. This reflects Rajasthan's overall lower educational attainment compared to the national average. The national overall literacy rate is 74.04%, while Rajasthan's is 66.1% — both male (79.2% vs 82.1% national) and female (52.1% vs 65.5% national) literacy rates are below national averages.
Q4. Which of the following sequences correctly represents the districts of Rajasthan in ASCENDING order of their population (Census 2011)?
Explanation
Correct ascending order of population (Census 2011): Jaisalmer (~6.7 lakh — LEAST populous) < Pratapgarh (~8.7 lakh) < Sirohi (~10.4 lakh) < ... < Jaipur (~66.3 lakh — MOST populous). Jaisalmer is the least populous district because it has India's lowest population density (17 per sq km) despite being the second-largest district by area. Pratapgarh, carved from Chittorgarh in 2008, is among the smaller districts. Jaipur dominates with nearly 10% of Rajasthan's total population.

Explanation
According to Census 2011, Rajasthan's child sex ratio (0-6 years) is 888 females per 1000 males. This alarming figure reflects the persistence of female foeticide and son preference. The overall sex ratio of Rajasthan is 928 per 1000 males. The Beti Bachao Beti Padhao scheme was launched from Panipat (2015) partly in response to declining child sex ratios in states like Rajasthan and Haryana.
