Q7 of 11 Page 42

Read the 4th para of page 33, i.e., “ In the past 50 years, ............. observed for developed countries”.

Is a similar pattern observed for India? Give your opinion.

In the past 50 years there has been an increase in the production of the industrial sector than the agricultural sector. People have started to work more in industries, and the contribution of the industrial and service sector in GDP has also increased.

The similar trend could be noticed in the case of India too. The output share of agriculture has fallen, and that of industrial and service sector has increased. This is due to the high rate of employability in these sectors and the mass production that is done.
