Consider the following statements with reference to Agriculture sector during 1950-
1990:
1. Indian agricultural productivity had increased during this period
2. The proportion of GDP contributed by agriculture increased significantly.
3. The proportion of the population working/depending on agriculture declined significantly.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Ans a
Economists have found that as a nation becomes more prosperous, the proportion of GDP
contributed by agriculture as well as the proportion of the population working in the sector
declines considerably. In India, between 1950 and 1990, the proportion of GDP contributed
by agriculture declined significantly from more than 50 percent in 1950 to 34 percent in
1990.
On the negative side, some 65 per cent of the country’s population continued to be
employed in agriculture even as late as 1990. The population depending on agriculture
declined slightly from 67.5 percent in 1950 to 64.9 percent by 1990.

Consider the following statements with respect to the energy flow in the ecosystem:
1. Plants capture more than 50% of energy of the incident sunlight that falls on them.
2. Energy pyramid is always upright.
3. The number of trophic levels in an ecosystem is independent of the amount of
energy lost in each trophic level.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Ans b
Plants in a terrestrial ecosystem capture about 1% of the energy of sunlight that falls on
their leaves and convert it into food energy.
An average of 10% of the food eaten is turned into its own body and made available for the
next level of consumer.
Therefore, 10% can be taken as the average value for the amount of organic matter that is
present at each step and reaches the next level of consumers. This is known as “the 10
percent rule” and it limits the number of trophic levels an ecosystem can support. Since so
little energy is available for the next level of consumers, food chains generally consist of only
three or four steps. The loss of energy at each step is so great that very little usable energy
remains after four trophic levels.
