Primary sector is the largest employer in India.  It employes about 64% of the Indian population. 
This sector produces only a quarter of GDP because in it, the first step of goods production takes place. It is the supplier of raw material to the secondary sector. And the value of the good increases on each subsequent step and primary sector provides the first step. So, it's share is quite less in GDP. 

⇒ 0.0023 + 0.024 + 0.025 + 0.26 × √k = 15.6513

⇒ 0.0513 + 0.26 × √k = 15.6513

⇒ 0.26 × √k = 15.6513 – 0.0513

⇒ 0.26 × √k = 15.6

⇒ √k = 15.6/0.26

⇒ √k = 60

⇒ k = (60)²

The Correct Answer  is A: 1 Only

Explanation for the Correct Answer:
The Bhimbetka rock shelters are an archaeological site in central India that spans the prehistoric Paleolithic and Mesolithic periods, as well as the historic period. It exhibits the earliest traces of human life on the Indian subcontinent and evidence of Stone Age habitation starting at the site in Acheulian times.
1. Evidence of Use of Tools and Implements:

• Bhimbetka caves indeed demonstrate the continuity of human evolution from the Lower Paleolithic period to the Mesolithic period to the Chalcolithic period. This is primarily because these caves contain a rich collection of archaeological findings.
• The site has yielded tools and implements from all these periods, providing concrete evidence of human evolution and progress in tool-making techniques and survival strategies.
• The artifacts found here include tools from the Old Stone Age (Lower Palaeolithic), tools from the Middle Stone Age (Mesolithic), as well as tools from the New Stone Age (Chalcolithic).
• This shows a clear progression and continuity of human activities and evolution over a long period of time, which is why statement 1 is correct.

2. Presence of Shankhalipi Inscriptions:

• While the Bhimbetka caves do contain ancient inscriptions, the presence of "Shankhalipi" inscriptions specifically is not a significant factor in demonstrating the continuity of human evolution from the Lower Paleolithic period to the Mesolithic period to the Chalcolithic period.
• Shankhalipi, also known as shell-script, is a unique and lesser-known script found in India, and it is not associated with the Paleolithic, Mesolithic, or Chalcolithic periods.
• Therefore, the presence of Shankhalipi inscriptions in the Bhimbetka caves does not directly support the evidence of continuity of human evolution over these periods. This is why statement 2 is not correct.

So, the correct answer to the question is option A: 1 only.

The correct answer is Rocky soil.

Key Points

• The land of Haryana can be divided into the following three parts:
  • Hill:
    • The soil of this region is rocky and this type of soil can be seen on the hills of Morni.
    • In the southern part of the state, due to the presence of hills of the Aravalli Mountains, rocky and sandy soils are found here.
    • The soil in the hilly region of the state is thin and hard.
  • Plains:
    • The soil of the plains of the state is fertile.
    • It is brownish-yellow in color.
    • This soil has come with the flow of rivers like Yamuna, Saraswati etc.
    • Many crops are grown in this region and the most fertile region is also considered to be the plains of Haryana.
  • Sandy:
    • Sandy soil is found in the southwestern part of Haryana.
    • The color of this soil is light brown.
    • This soil comes with the winds blowing from the neighboring state of Rajasthan.

The logic is:

the pattern being followed here is:

(Number)² : (Number)³

1. 225 : 3375 → 15² : 15³

2. 49 : 280 → 7² : 7³ = 343 ≠ 280

3. 64 : 512 → 8² : 8³

4. 25 : 125 → 5² : 5³

Hence, ‘49 : 280’ is the odd one out.
