AI-generated practice question — model-generated for extra practice, not a previous-year CBSE board question.
(C) Tertiary sector
The tertiary sector has emerged as the largest contributor to India's GVA. By 2017–18, it surpassed the primary sector and contributes the most to India's GVA.
The textbook states clearly: "in the year 2017–18, the tertiary sector has emerged as the largest producing sector in India replacing the primary sector." The Summing Up also confirms: "goods and services produced in the tertiary sector contribute the most to GDP." Examinees must not confuse GVA/GDP contribution with employment — the primary sector still employs the most people, but the tertiary sector produces the most output.
