Match the following :

(1) First Five Year Plan	(a) The archived growth rate was 4.27%
(2) Second Five Year Plan	(b) The archived growth rate was 2.4%
(3) Third Five Year Plan	(c) The archived growth rate was 3.6%

Answer: B

The correct matching is 1-c, 2-a, 3-b.

First Five Year Plan (1951-56): target 2.1 per cent, achieved about 3.6 per cent, helped by good harvests.
Second Five Year Plan (1956-61), the Mahalanobis plan: target 4.5 per cent, achieved about 4.27 per cent.
Third Five Year Plan (1961-66): target 5.6 per cent, achieved only about 2.4 per cent, because of the wars of 1962 and 1965 and the drought of 1965-66.

Option A gives the Second Plan the Third Plan's poor result. Options C and D give the First Plan the Second Plan's higher figure.
