Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
The Sri Lankan Tamils do not account for 90 per cent of the population in Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka is a country located just a few kilometres away from Tamil Nadu (a state in the southwest corner of India). Like India, Sri Lanka is diverse in its ethnic composition. There are broadly two major communities: seventy-four per cent of the Sinhala-speaking community and eighteen per cent of the Tamil-speaking community. The Tamil-speaking community is a minority in Sri Lanka.
The correct statement would be the Sri Lankan Tamils account for eighteen per cent of the population in Sri Lanka.
