A vast majority of Indians are poor, with barely 10 percent employed in the organised sector. We are being convinced that vigorous economic growth is generating substantial employment. But this is not so. When our economy was growing at 3 percent per year, employment in the organised sector was growing at 2 percent per year. As the economy began to grow at 7 - 8 percent per year, the rate of growth of employment in the organised sector actually declined to 1 percent per year. The above passage seems to imply that most of modern economic growth is based on technological progress. much of modern Indian economy does not nurture sufficient symbiotic relationship with labour-intensive, natural resource-based livelihoods. service sector in India is not very labour-intensive. literate rural population is not willing to enter organised sector. Which of the statements given above are correct?

The above passage seems to imply that most of modern economic growth is based on technological progress. much of modern Indian economy does not nurture sufficient symbiotic relationship with labour-intensive, natural resource-based livelihoods. service sector in India is not very labour-intensive. literate rural population is not willing to enter organised sector. Which of the statements given above are correct?

Options

  1. a.

    1 and 2 only

    Correct answer
  2. b.

    3 and 4 only

  3. c.

    1, 2 and 3 only

  4. d.

    1, 2, 3 and 4

Explanation

Answer is (a). Statement 4 isn't referenced in the passage, eliminating options (b) and (d). Now, consider statement 3. Assuming the service sector is synonymous with the organized sector, especially considering the significant contribution of the service sector to economic growth, is a substantial assumption not explicitly stated in the passage. Thus, statement 3 isn't accurate. Consequently, option (c) is dismissed, leaving option (a) as the best choice.
