Official UPSC Answer KeyUPSC Prelims 2007 • Indian Economy

Correct Answer: Option (A) — Services - Industry - Agriculture

Concept & Option Breakdown

Standard Reference Verified

Since the late 20th century, India's economic structure has been led predominantly by the tertiary (Services) sector (~50–55%), followed by the secondary (Industry) sector (~25–30%), and the primary (Agriculture) sector contributing the lowest share (~15–20%). Thus, the descending order is Services > Industry > Agriculture.
