Solution
The correct option is C 47.05% Total GDP of three sectors in 2021
= Value of primary sector + Value of secondary sector + Value of tertiary sector
= ₹(2,50,000 + 3,80,000 + 5,60,000) crore
= ₹11,90,000 crore
Share of primary sector in total GDP
= (Value of primary sector/Total GDP of three sectors) x 100
= (2,50,000/11,90,000) x 100
= 47.05%
