  1. (A)

    75%

  2. (B)

    80.17%

  3. (C)

    65%

  4. (D)

    90%

Explanation

Milk accounted for 80.17% of Rajasthan's livestock products Gross Value Output at current prices in 2024-25. The Rajasthan Economic Review 2024-25 presents this in Figure 4.5, which gives the percentage share of livestock products in GVO at current prices for that year. The surrounding text also states that milk is the major contributor to income from the livestock sector. Since the question asks for milk's share within livestock products GVO, the relevant figure is the milk slice in that chart, not the overall size of the livestock sector or any other livestock product category.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (A) 75% understates the milk share because Figure 4.5 records milk at 80.17% of livestock products GVO at current prices in 2024-25.
  • (C) 65% is too low; the cited Economic Review figure gives milk's contribution as 80.17%, not 65%.
  • (D) 90% overstates milk's contribution, as the official figure for milk in livestock products GVO is 80.17%.

Concept

This tests the livestock sector composition within Rajasthan's economy, especially how GVO is broken up by product. It recurs in RAS because Economic Review charts often provide direct, exam-ready percentages for agriculture and allied sectors.
