Category: Tamil Nadu Gk

Hint: Consider the general economic and human development indicators of each state.

Correct Answer: C) D only.

Exam Relevance: UPSC, SSC, Bank PO, State PSC

Difficulty: Moderate

Explanations:

The question tests the understanding of the relationship between economic development and human development in different Indian states. Economic development is typically measured by indicators such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita, while human development is measured by the Human Development Index (HDI), which includes factors such as life expectancy, education, and standard of living.

Let's analyze each state mentioned in the question:

Rajasthan: Rajasthan is known for having relatively low economic development, which is reflected in its GDP per capita. However, human development in Rajasthan has been improving, but it still lags behind many other states. Therefore, the pair "High economic development and poor human development: Rajasthan" is not correctly matched.

Kerala: Kerala is often cited as an example of a state with high human development despite having a relatively lower economic development. Kerala has high literacy rates, good health indicators, and a high standard of living, which contribute to its high HDI. Thus, the pair "High human development and low economic development: Kerala" is correctly matched.

West Bengal: West Bengal has a moderate level of both economic and human development. It has a decent GDP per capita and a relatively high HDI, making the pair "Medium human and economic development: West Bengal" correctly matched.

Tamil Nadu: Tamil Nadu is known for its high economic development, with a strong industrial base and a high GDP per capita. It also has a high HDI, with good health and education indicators. Therefore, the pair "Poor economic and human development: Tamil Nadu" is incorrectly matched, as Tamil Nadu has both high economic and human development.

Based on this analysis, the only incorrectly matched pair is "Poor economic and human development: Tamil Nadu," making option C the correct answer.

Option Analysis:
  • Option A: This option is incorrect because it suggests that only the pair "High human development and low economic development: Kerala" is correctly matched. However, Kerala is known for high human development despite having a relatively lower economic development compared to some other states.
  • Option B: This option is incorrect because it suggests that both "High economic development and poor human development: Rajasthan" and "High human development and low economic development: Kerala" are correctly matched. Rajasthan does not have high economic development, and Kerala is correctly matched.
  • Option C: This option is correct because it identifies that "Poor economic and human development: Tamil Nadu" is the only incorrectly matched pair. Tamil Nadu has a relatively high economic development and a high human development index.
  • Option D: This option is incorrect because it suggests that all pairs are incorrectly matched, which is not true. Kerala and West Bengal are correctly matched according to their development indicators.
