Passage 4
Between 2002-03 and 2006-07 Indian economy grew annually at 8.7% led by the services sector at 9% per year.

However, the services led growth remains a puzzle at a low per capita income, with 55% of the workforce still engaged in agriculture and when agriculture decelerated and industry stagnated defying a styled fact in Economics.Question : 16
