The correct answer is
67.5%
The correct answer is 67.5%. In 1950, India's economy was largely agrarian. A significant portion of the workforce was employed in agriculture, and agricultural output formed a substantial part of the nation's Gross Domestic Product (GDP). While precise figures can vary slightly depending on the data source and methodology used, 67.5% accurately reflects the dominant role of agriculture in the Indian economy during that period.
