Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) Only two
Dairy farming is a primary‐sector activity (extraction of biological resources). Weaving cloth converts yarn into fabric and therefore belongs to the secondary (manufacturing) sector. Storage/warehousing of agricultural produce is a service and falls in the tertiary sector, not the secondary sector; the National Industrial Classification lists “Storage and Warehousing services” under service code 74. Mineral exploration/mining is included in the primary sector. Hence only pairs 2 and 4 are correctly matched – two pairs in all.
