Direction for the following 7 (seven) items: Read the following seven passages and answer the items (61-67) that follow the passages. Your answers to these items should be based on the passages only.

Productive jobs are vital for growth and a good job is the best form of inclusion. More than half of our population depends on agriculture, but the experience of other countries suggests that the number of people dependent on agriculture will have to shrink if per capita incomes in agriculture are to go up substantially. While industry is creating jobs, too many such jobs are low-productivity non-contractual jobs in the unorganized sector, offering low incomes, little protection, and no benefits. Service jobs are relatively of high productivity, but employment growth in services has been slow in recent years.

Which among the following is the most logical and rational inference that can be made from the above passage?

Correct Option: We must create conditions for the faster growth of productive jobs outside of agriculture even while improving the productivity of agriculture.

Step-by-step Explanation:

1. Analyzing the Passage:
- The passage emphasizes that productive jobs are vital for economic growth and inclusion.
- Over half the population relies on agriculture, but per capita income in agriculture will only rise substantially if the number of people dependent on it decreases.
- The industrial sector creates jobs, but many are low-productivity, non-contractual, and unorganized.
- Service sector jobs are highly productive, but their employment growth has been slow.
- Overall, there is a clear necessity to shift excess labor away from agriculture into productive non-agricultural sectors while improving agricultural per capita income/productivity.

2. Evaluating the Options:

Option 1: "We must create conditions for the faster growth of highly productive service jobs to ensure employment growth and inclusion."
- While services are highly productive, focusing solely on the service sector ignores the broader need expressed in the passage to address productivity and employment outside of agriculture as a whole.

Option 2: "We must shift the farm workers to the highly productive manufacturing and service sectors to ensure the economic growth and inclusion."
- The passage notes that manufacturing currently creates mostly low-productivity unorganized jobs, so simply shifting workers without improving job productivity outside agriculture is incomplete.

Option 3 (Correct Answer): "We must create conditions for the faster growth of productive jobs outside of agriculture even while improving the productivity of agriculture."
- This option perfectly captures the main logical inference of the passage: to raise per capita incomes in agriculture, agriculture's dependency must decrease (requiring growth of productive jobs outside agriculture), while agricultural productivity/income needs to rise.

Option 4: "We must emphasize the cultivation of high-yielding hybrid varieties; and genetically modified crops to increase the per capita income in agriculture."
- The passage does not mention genetically modified crops or hybrid varieties at all. This option introduces external assumptions not supported by the text.

Conclusion:
Hence, the most logical and rational inference is that conditions must be created for faster growth of productive jobs outside agriculture while simultaneously improving productivity within agriculture.
