In the 'Index of Eight Core Industries', which one of the following is given the highest weight?

Gives the list of the eight core industries with their assigned weights showing coal at 10.3% while refinery products (28%) and electricity (19.9%) have larger shares.

A student can compare these listed percentages to judge that coal's 10.3% is not the highest and identify which sectors exceed it.

Contains a weights table for the core industries (showing values similar to snippet 2), allowing cross-check of coal's weight relative to others.

Use the table to compute rank order of weights (or consult the official IIP weight list for 2011–12 base) to see if coal ranks first.

States that the Index of Eight Core Industries has a combined weight (~37.90% or similar) within the IIP and lists which items are included, confirming coal is one of the components to be compared.

Knowing coal is one of the components, a student can seek the component weights (from snippets 2 and 10) to compare magnitudes.

Explains the core industries make up a substantial share of the IIP and provides context that the index aggregates weighted components.

Recognize that component weights determine influence; thus comparing component weights (from other snippets) indicates which industry has the largest influence.

Gives the explicit list of the eight core industries with their assigned weights, showing refinery products at 28% and electricity at 19.9% (and concludes refinery products carry the highest weight).

A student could use these weights to compare electricity's 19.9% with other items (refinery 28%, steel 17.9%, etc.) to judge whether electricity is the largest weight.

Provides the same set of industry weights (with electricity ~19.85% and refinery products ~28.04%), confirming the relative ranking among core industries.

A student can corroborate the proportions here with other sources or the 2011–12 base-year composition to assess which industry has the highest share.

Explains that the eight core industries comprise a substantial share of the IIP and shows sectoral weightings for IIP components (emphasising relative weights matter in the index).

A student can use this explanation of how weights are assigned in IIP to understand that comparing numeric weights (from other snippets) is the correct method to determine the largest component.

Describes how weights are attached to broad sectors (Mining, Manufacturing, Electricity) when computing IIP, indicating electricity has a defined but not necessarily dominant weight in index calculations.

A student could extend this by noting electricity's sectoral weight is explicitly specified and so should be compared numerically against other core-industry weights to test the statement.

Provides context on the size and importance of India's electricity generation (shares by source), which helps frame why electricity would be a substantial component of an industrial index, though not proof of being the largest.

A student could combine this contextual importance of electricity with the numerical weights from other snippets to judge plausibility and then verify which weight is actually highest.

Provides the list of the eight core industries with assigned percentage weights and explicitly shows Fertilisers at 2.6% while Refinery products carry the highest weight (28%).

A student could use these listed weights to directly compare Fertilisers' weight to others and conclude it is far from the highest.

Presents the same core industries with numerical weights (e.g., Refinery Products ~28.04%, Electricity ~19.85%, Fertilisers ~2.63%), allowing direct relative comparison.

Use the numeric weights here to verify Fertilisers are the smallest (or near smallest) among the eight, so not the highest.

States that the Index of Eight Core Industries is a subset of the overall IIP and explicitly lists Fertilisers as one of the eight components.

Knowing Fertilisers are included, a student can look up the component weights (from sources like [2] or [10]) to compare relative importance.

Gives the aggregate share (~40.27%) of the eight core industries in the IIP, establishing that individual component weights are meaningful parts of a larger index.

Combine this aggregate fact with component weights (from [2]/[10]) to appreciate how small a 2.6% Fertilisers weight is relative to the whole core-industries share.

Provides the list of the eight core industries with their assigned weights (refinery products 28%, electricity 19.9%, steel 17.9%, …) and explicitly notes refinery products carry the highest weight.

A student could use these weights to directly compare steel's 17.9% to others (noting refinery at 28%) to conclude steel is not the highest.

States that the eight core industries together comprise a substantial share (40.27%) of the IIP, framing the context in which individual industry weights (like steel) matter.

Use this to understand that the listed percentage weights (from [2]) are meaningful components of the IIP and so comparisons among them are relevant.

Also confirms the eight core industries form a defined subset of the IIP (giving the same ~40.27% aggregate), supporting reliance on the assigned component weights.

Combine this confirmation with the numeric weights in [2] to judge relative importance of steel within the core-industries basket.

Notes the combined weight of the eight core industries (37.90% in one place) and lists core-industry examples, indicating published documents give both totals and itemised components.

A student could reconcile differing aggregate figures and rely on itemised weights (as in [2]) to compare individual industry shares like steel.

Describes the steel industry's role and importance in India, showing steel is a major sector among the cores even if not necessarily the largest by weight.

Use this contextual knowledge to appreciate why one might suspect steel has a large weight, but then check numeric weights (e.g., [2]) to verify the actual ranking.
