Question

suppose in a country x, 10,00,000 children were born in the year 2018, Out of these 90,000 died between the age of 1 AND 5 and 60,000 died before one year of age the infant mortality rate of the country will be
a)30
b)60
c)90
d)150​

Answer 1

Answer :- b.60

IMR per 1000 children

therefore, 60,000/ 10,00,000 × 1000

= 60.

Answer 2

Given,

Children born in the year 2018 = 10,00,000

Children who died between the age of one and five = 90,000

Children who died before the age of one = 60,000

To find,

The infant mortality rate of the country

Solution,

We may answer this numerical problem by following the steps below.

We know that,

The infant mortality rate in a nation is found out by dividing the number of deaths in the first year of life by the number of live births multiplied by a thousand.

Thus,

Infant mortality rate per 1000 children = $\frac{60,000}{10,00,000} * 1000$

                                                                   = 60

As a result, the infant mortality rate of the country will be 60. (Option B)
