Vital statistics are crucial for calculating which of the following indicators?
A. Literacy Rate
B. Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
C. Human Development Index (HDI)
D. Infant Mortality Rate (IMR)
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
IMR directly uses vital statistics data on live births and infant deaths; other options rely on broader datasets (e.g., GDP on economic surveys, HDI on multiple sources, literacy on census/surveys).
Explanation:
CPI weights items according to their share in average household consumption expenditure, derived from consumer expenditure surveys, to reflect the cost of living for typical families.
