Detailed Solution

The above statement is false. It is incorrect to claim that the state with the largest per capita GDP has a higher ranking in terms of human development. Kerala disproved it by ranking higher in terms of human development than Haryana, which has a far higher per capita GDP. The fundamental amenities offered to the populace, such as healthcare facilities, literacy rates, infant mortality rates, net enrollment ratios, etc., are used to measure human development. At the same time, the state's average income is the only factor used to determine per capita income. Kerala thus has a higher human development ranking, which is not the only factor considered when evaluating a state's level of development.
A state with the highest per capita income may not have a better human development ranking.
