Q11. Which one of the following statements best reflects the corollary to the above passage?
Detailed Solution
The passage highlights a stark contrast: the agricultural sector "never experienced a high-growth phase" and suffered "relative stagnation" after the 1980s, unlike the non-agricultural economy which "consistently increased from the 1980s to 2000s." The 1980s and subsequent decades were periods of significant economic reforms in India. The observed divergence in growth rates between the agricultural and non-agricultural sectors strongly suggests that the benefits of these reforms did not reach agriculture as effectively or quickly as they did other sectors.
Option (b) is not supported as the passage does not mention the Green Revolution. Options (c) and (d) introduce external factors (mechanization, migration) that are not discussed in the passage as reasons for stagnation.
