Hints

Open one hint at a time and try again before the next.

Hint 1

Ask whether the workers are producing a raw material, making a product, or giving a service.

Hint 2

Handling and processing cloth changes its form, which is manufacturing.

Step-by-step solution

Each step shows the marks it earns, as an examiner would award them. Checked by an independent re-solve from the question paper.

  1. The picture shows workers folding and processing cloth in a garment unit. This turns a raw material (fabric) into a finished product, so it is manufacturing, which is the secondary sector. Hence the answer is the option 'Secondary'. The scheme's key reads (D) Tertiary, and this note explains why that is doubtful.

    1 mark

  2. For the visually impaired version, a basket weaver makes baskets from cane or bamboo. This is manufacturing, so it is secondary, option (C). A bee-keeper and a fisherman are primary, and a moneylender is tertiary.

Answer: Option (C) Secondary; VI: (C) Basket weaver

Where the marks are

  • Identifies the work as manufacturing and so the secondary sector (1 mark)
