सन 2013-14 मध्ये महाराष्ट्राने आर्थिक विकास वेगाने झालेचे अनुभवले तरी शेती क्षेत्रात हा अनुभव आला. (a) शेती क्षेत्राचे योगदान घटले (b) शेतीवर अवलंबून लोकसंख्या तेवढीच राहीली (c) शेती क्षेत्राचे योगदान वाढले (d) शेतीवरील अवलंबून लोकसंख्या वाढली पर्यायी उत्तरे :

The correct answer is Option A ((a) and (b)).

Key Points:
• Structural transformation in Maharashtra's economy mirrors the broader national trend where rapid industrial and service sector growth contrasts with agricultural stagnation.
• Statement (a) is correct: During 2013-14 and preceding years, Maharashtra experienced rapid overall economic growth driven by services and industry, while the relative percentage contribution of agriculture to GSDP declined.
• Statement (b) is correct: Despite agriculture's declining share in GSDP, the absolute population depending on agriculture for livelihood stagnated/remained high due to lack of rapid alternative employment absorption in rural regions.
• Therefore, statements (a) and (b) accurately depict the agricultural dilemma during that economic cycle, making option (1) correct.
• Key Takeaway: In 2013-14, Maharashtra saw rapid overall economic development alongside a declining agricultural share and persistent rural dependence.
