What share of India's national GDP does Gujarat contribute, as stated in the 2019-20 review?
A4.99%
B16.8%
C20.0%
D7.9%
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. 7.9%
1. The review highlights Gujarat as a growth engine of India.
2. With only a 4.99% population share, Gujarat contributes about 7.9% to the national GDP.
3. The 4.99% figure is the population share, not the GDP share, so it is a trap.
4. The 16.8% figure is Gujarat's share of industrial output, a different metric.
5. Therefore Gujarat contributes about 7.9% to national GDP.
