RAS question

What is the services sector share in Rajasthan's GSVA?

Correct answer: (B) 47.7%.

The services sector accounts for about 47.7% of Rajasthan's GSVA, making it the largest sectoral contributor.

  1. (A)

    35.2%

  2. (B)

    47.7%

  3. (C)

    42.5%

  4. (D)

    55.3%

Explanation

Rajasthan's Economic Review 2026-27 states that, in 2025-26 at current prices, the services sector had a 47.71% share in Rajasthan's Gross State Value Added, which is rounded to 47.7% in the MCQ. This is why option B is the best answer. The same review identifies services as the largest sector in the State's economy, ahead of agriculture and industry. It also explains what is included in the services sector: transport, storage and communication, financial services, real estate, professional services, public administration and other services. The point being tested is not a generic national trend but Rajasthan's sectoral GSVA composition as reported in the State's official Economic Review.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (A) 35.2% understates the services share because the Economic Review gives the services sector's GSVA share as 47.71%, rounded in the question to 47.7%.
  • (C) 42.5% is below the official services-sector figure and therefore misses the review's finding that services contributed 47.71% of Rajasthan's GSVA.
  • (D) 55.3% overstates the services-sector share; the official figure for 2025-26 at current prices is 47.71%, not a majority of GSVA.

Concept

This tests sectoral composition of Rajasthan's economy under Gross State Value Added. It recurs in RAS because Economic Review tables are a standard source for current, state-specific economy questions.
