Explanation:

- The National Mission on Agriculture Extension and Technology (NMAET) is a centrally sponsored scheme.

- For most centrally sponsored agricultural schemes, the cost sharing pattern between the Central and State governments is usually 60:40 for general states.

- Rajasthan, being a general state, falls under this norm.

- This means the Central Government provides 60% of funds, while the Rajasthan Government provides 40%.

- Let’s review the options:

- Option 1 (20%): Not correct—the state share is higher.

- Option 2 (40%): Correct—This is the actual share for Rajasthan.

- Option 3 (30%): Not correct—lower than the actual share.

- Option 4 (50%): Not correct—state does not bear half.

Correct Answer:

Option 2 (40 Percent)
