Total Fertility Rate (TFR) is obtained by summing ASFRs for all age groups and multiplying by 5 if 5-year age groups are used. This is because:
A. To standardize for age
B. Each ASFR represents a 5-year period
C. To adjust for mortality
D. To convert rate per 1000 to children per woman
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Summing ASFRs for 5-year groups gives average children per woman for the 5-year span, so multiply by 5.

Question #1
A bag contains 5 red, 4 blue, 3 green balls. Two balls are drawn without replacement. Probability that both are same color is:
A. 12/66
B. 19/66
C. 20/66
D. 15/66

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Total ways C(12,2)=66. Favorable: C(5,2)+C(4,2)+C(3,2) = 10+6+3=19. Probability=19/66.

Question #3
A bag contains 3 red and 2 blue balls. Two balls are drawn at random without replacement. The probability that both are red is:
A. 3/5
B. 3/10
C. 9/25
D. 1/2

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
P(both red) = (3/5) × (2/4) = 6/20 = 3/10. Without replacement, the probability changes after the first draw, requiring multiplication of conditional probabilities.
