Question Detail

Each of the following questions contains a small paragraph followed by a question on it. Read each paragraph carefully and answer the question given below it.

It is up to our government and planners to devise ways and means for the mobilisation of about ten crore workers whose families total up about forty crore men, women and children. Our agriculture is over-manned. A lesser number of agriculturists would mean more purchasing or spending power to every agriculturist. This will result in the shortage of man-power for many commodities to be produced for which there will be a new demand from a prosperous agrarian class. This shortage will be removed by surplus man-power released from agriculture as suggested above.

The passage best supports the statement that:

• employment in production is more fruitful than employment in agriculture.
• Indian economy is in a poor shape basically due to improper mobilisation of man-power.
• a shift of labour from agricultural sector to the industrial sector would uplift the living standard.
• the industrial sector is labour-deficient while the agricultural sector is over-manned in our country.
