  1. (A)

    ₹1,12,358

  2. (B)

    ₹90,414

  3. (C)

    ₹96,638

  4. (D)

    ₹84,585

Explanation

The official Economic Review gives Rajasthan's per capita income at constant 2011-12 prices for 2024-25 as Rs 96,638. It also gives the immediate comparison: Rs 90,414 for 2023-24, which means the 2024-25 estimate shows 6.88 per cent growth. The key is the phrase "constant 2011-12 prices": this is the real, base-year-price measure, not the current-price figure. The same section defines per capita income as Net State Domestic Product divided by the mid-year total population, so the question is testing Rajasthan's real per-person income estimate, not nominal income or All India PCI.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (A) Rs 1,12,358 is the All India per capita income at constant prices, so it is not Rajasthan's 2024-25 figure.
  • (B) Rs 90,414 is Rajasthan's per capita income at constant 2011-12 prices for 2023-24, not the 2024-25 estimate.
  • (D) Rs 84,585 belongs to 2022-23, so it is two years behind the 2024-25 estimate asked in the question.

Concept

This tests Rajasthan state income accounts, especially the distinction between current-price and constant-price per capita income. RAS repeats this area because Economic Review tables are a direct source for factual economy questions.
