Detailed Solution

The incorrect statement is: The total number of children attending school as a percentage of the total number of children in the same age group is called the Net attendance ratio.
1)      The net attendance ratio is the proportion of people in the official age group who attend any educational base in a specific class compared to the total number of people in the same age group.
2)      The infant mortality rate indicates the number of children who lived through the age of 1. It is an indicator that falls under the Human Development Index.
3)      The literacy rate is the proportion of the adult population aged 15 years and above who can read and write perfectly. They will fall under the literate people, and others will be considered illiterate. It is also an indicator that falls under the Human Development Index. Thus, it is an incorrect statement.
