    Increased IMR and decreased MMR in a population will result in decline in growth rate.

    A) True                             

    B) False

    C) Cannot say                   

    D) Partially true or false

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] IMR (Infant Mortality Rate) and MMR (Maternal Mortality Rate) both are responsible for affecting the growth rate inversely. Here, if IMR has been increased then it will result in decline in growth rate. While, decreased MMR will cause rapid increase in growth rate. Therefore, in the above situation, if IMR has been increased and MMR has been decreased in a population, it will not cause any significant change in growth rate. Thus, option [d] is correct.
