The following table gives the GDP in Rupees (Crores) by the three sectors:
| Year | Primary | Secondary | Tertiary |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2000 | 52,000 | 48,500 | 1,33,500 |
| 2013 | 8,00,500 | 10,74,000 | 38,68,000 |
(i) Calculate the share of the three sectors in GDP for 2000 and 2013.
(ii) Show the data as a bar diagram similar to Graph 2 in the chapter.
(iii) What conclusions can we draw from the bar graph?

Answer
(i) In 2000, following were the share of:
Primary sector = 22.22 %
Secondary sector = 20.736 %
Tertiary sector = 57.051 %
In 2013, following were the share of:
Primary sector = 13.939 %
Secondary sector = 18.702 %
Tertiary sector = 67.357 %.
Solution:
In 2000, Total GDP = sum of all sectors
⇒ Total GDP = 52,000 + 48,500 + 1,33,500 = 2,34000 Crores
Share of Primary sector = (52,000/234000) x 100 = 22.22 %
Share of Secondary sector = (48,500/234000) x 100 = 20.736 %
Share of Tertiary sector = (1,33,500/234000) x 100 = 57.051 %
In 2013,
Total GDP = sum of all sectors
⇒ Total GDP = 8,00,500 + 10,74,000 + 38,68,000 = 57,42,500 Crores
Share of Primary sector = (8,00,500/57,42,500) x 100 = 13.939 %
Share of Secondary sector = (10,74,000/57,42,500) x 100 = 18.702 %
Share of Tertiary sector = (38,68,000/57,42,500) x 100 = 67.357 %
(ii) The bar diagram of the data is shown below:

(iii) We can draw the conclusion that the share of the tertiary sector in the GDP has increased by 10%, while that of the primary sector has decreased by approx 8 %. The secondary sector has decreased by about 2% in the last 13 years.
