Correct answer: (D) 438.15.

  1. (A)

    350

  2. (B)

    400

  3. (C)

    500

  4. (D)

    438.15

Explanation

Rajasthan Economic Review 2024-25 gives the state's Wholesale Price Index on the base year 1999-2000=100. In Table 1.11 and the accompanying text, the Primary Articles group is listed at 420.67 in 2023 and 438.15 in 2024. That movement is described as a 4.16 per cent year-on-year increase. The question asks for the annual average index for Primary Articles in 2024, not the all-commodities index or any rounded estimate, so the precise figure to select is 438.15.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (A) 350 is below the 2024 Primary Articles figure and does not match the 438.15 annual average index reported in Rajasthan Economic Review 2024-25.
  • (B) 400 is not the reported 2024 value; the Review lists Primary Articles at 438.15, after 420.67 in 2023.
  • (C) 500 overstates the index because the official 2024 Primary Articles figure is 438.15, not a rounded higher value.

Concept

This tests Rajasthan economy statistics, especially price indices in the Economic Review. It recurs in RAS because WPI figures are official, table-based current data that can be asked as direct factual questions.
