Read the following four passages and answer the items that follow. Your answers to these items should be based on the passages only.
Passage-1
Global population was around 1.6 billion in 1990- today it is around 7.2 billion and growing. Recent estimates on population growth predict a global population of 9.6 billion in 2050 and 10.9 billion in 2100 . Unlike Europe and North America, where only three to four percent of population is engaged in agriculture, around 47 percent of India's population is dependent upon agriculture. Even if India continues to do well in the service sector and the manufacturing sector picks up, it is expected that around 2030 when India overtakes China as the world 's most populous country, nearly 42 per cent of India's population will still be predominantly dependent on agriculture.
