Rank the States in descending order of their size of State Domestic Product at current prices in the recent years :
I. Karnataka
II. Maharashtra
III. Uttar Pradesh
IV. Tamil Nadu
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
In the GSDP data available in the early 2010s (2004-05 base series), Maharashtra had by far the largest State Domestic Product, nearly 15 per cent of the national total, followed by Uttar Pradesh, then Tamil Nadu, with Karnataka smaller than all three. Codes that put Karnataka or Uttar Pradesh ahead of Maharashtra understate Maharashtra's lead, and the code placing Tamil Nadu second and Uttar Pradesh last reverses the positions of those two States.
The order of the States after Maharashtra has changed since; in the 2011-12 base series Tamil Nadu has usually ranked second.
