IIT JAM 2022 Question 32: The Indian economy before and after independence
Answer and worked solution
Answer: (B) and (C)
The correct pairings are Bombay Plan with J. R. D. Tata (a, ii), People's Plan with M. N. Roy (b, iii), and Sarvodaya Plan with J. P. Narayan (c, i).
Option (B) lists (a, ii) and (b, iii), both correct. Option (C) lists (b, iii) and (c, i), both correct. Options (A) and (D) each contain a wrong pairing. The correct options are (B) and (C).
The trap: (A) (a, i), (b, iii)
The Bombay Plan is associated with industrialists led by J. R. D. Tata, not with J. P. Narayan; pairing (a, i) in option (A) is the error.
