Answer 2

Given,

One million children were born in the year 2005.

50,000 children died before the age of one.

To Find,

The infant mortality rate of the country

Solution,

To solve this problem we have to know to apply some mathematical procedures-

First, we know that the infant mortality rate of country = $\frac{no.ofdeath}{no.of live birth}$ × 1000,

Given,

One  million children, Death= 50,000

⇒the infant mortality rate of country = $\frac{no.ofdeath}{no.of live birth}$ × 1000,

⇒$\frac{50000}{1000000}$×1000

⇒50

∴The infant mortality rate of the country is 50. Option (B)
