The sex ratio is high in Brazil.
Show Hint
Solution and Explanation
The sex ratio is high in Brazil.
Correct Answer: False
Step 1: Sex Ratio in Brazil
Brazil’s sex ratio is roughly balanced. At birth, there are about 1.05 males per female, but overall, females slightly outnumber males because of higher female life expectancy.
Step 2: Comparison with Other Countries
Some countries, like Qatar or India, show more skewed sex ratios. Brazil, however, follows global norms and does not have an unusually high ratio.
\[ \textbf{Brazil has a balanced sex ratio, not a high one.} \]

- Appreciation of the poem:
Read the following poem and write an appreciation of it with the help of the points given below:
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

- Properties of Triangles
The radius of a circle with centre 'P' is 10 cm. If chord AB of the circle subtends a right angle at P, find area of minor sector by using the following activity. (\(\pi = 3.14\))
Activity :
r = 10 cm, \(\theta\) = 90\(^\circ\), \(\pi\) = 3.14.
A(P-AXB) = \(\frac{\theta}{360} \times \boxed{\phantom{\pi r^2}}\) = \(\frac{\boxed{\phantom{90}}}{360} \times 3.14 \times 10^2\) = \(\frac{1}{4} \times \boxed{\phantom{314}}\) <br>
A(P-AXB) = \(\boxed{\phantom{78.5}}\) sq. cm.
