Question

24.
The following table gives the GDP in Rupees (Crores) by the three sectors:
Year
Primary
80,000
Secondary
19,000
Tertiary
39,000
1950
2011
8.18.000
12,49,000
28,18,000
(i) Calculate the share of the three sectors in GDP for 1950 and 2011.
(ii) Show the data as a bar diagram similar to Graph 2 in the chapter.
What conclusions can we draw from the bar graph?​

Answer 1

Answer:

In the year 1950 Total GDP (In 1950) = 80,000 +19,000 + 39,000

= 1, 38,000 crore

In the year 2011

Total GDP (In 2011) = 8, 18,000 + 12, 49,000 + 28, 18,000

= 4,885,000 crore

(iii) The conclusion can be drawn on behalf of results that the share of the tertiary sector in the GDP has almost doubled, while the GDP of the primary sector has been halved almost and the same situation is with the secondary sector which has grown up by about 10 % in the last five years. So, we saw that how the GDP of all the three sectors is changing and specially the much more change have been seen in the GDP of tertiary sector.
