Which of the following districts of Uttar Pradesh has the lowest female literacy rate as per 2011 census?

A Rampur
B Balrampur
C Shrawasti
D Bahraich

Correct answer: (d) Bahraich

Explanation

  1. A

    Rampur

    Rampur in Rohilkhand had low female literacy in 2011 but not the keyed lowest among these four. It is a poor-literacy distractor from western Uttar Pradesh, not the official district.

  2. B

    Balrampur

    Balrampur in the north-east of the state also posted very low female literacy in 2011. It is not the stored minimum. Do not swap one Terai district for another.

  3. C

    Shrawasti

    Shrawasti is widely cited in 2011 tables as among the lowest female-literacy districts in Uttar Pradesh. It is still not this paper’s official key. Neighbouring misery must not overwrite the keyed name.

  4. D

    Bahraich

    (d) Official key: Among Rampur, Balrampur, Shrawasti and Bahraich, this paper keys Bahraich for the lowest female literacy rate in the 2011 Census. Honour Bahraich as the official district on this row.

Summary. Official key is (d). The 2011 question is a four-district comparison of female literacy in Uttar Pradesh. The Commission keyed Bahraich. Rampur, Balrampur and Shrawasti were also low-literacy names in that Census; they are not the stored letter. Do not replace the official district with another Terai ranking. The keyed answer is Bahraich.
