Question

Match List I with List II:

List I (Indicator)	List II (Denominator)
A. Specific death rate due to tuberculosis	I. Total number of COVID-19 cases
B. Specific death rate for males	II. Mid-year population
C. Case fatality rate for COVID-19	III. Mid-year population of males
D. Specific death rate in age group 15-19 years	IV. Mid-year population of persons aged 15-19

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• (A) - (I), (B) - (IV), (C) - (III), (D) - (II)
• (A) - (I), (B) - (III), (C) - (II), (D) - (IV)
• (A) - (IV), (B) - (III), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)
• (A) - (II), (B) - (III), (C) - (I), (D) - (IV)

Hint:

Specific death rates focus on particular groups (age, gender, disease), and the denominator should reflect the relevant population subset.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The correct matches are:

• A. Specific death rate due to tuberculosis: Denominator is Mid-year population as it measures deaths due to tuberculosis in the general population.
• B. Specific death rate for males: Denominator is Mid-year population of males, focusing on male-specific death rates.
• C. Case fatality rate for COVID-19: Denominator is Total number of COVID-19 cases, as it measures deaths among confirmed cases.
• D. Specific death rate in age group 15-19 years: Denominator is Mid-year population of persons aged 15-19, as it assesses deaths in this specific age group.

Thus, the correct sequence is: (A) - (II), (B) - (III), (C) - (I), (D) - (IV).
