Question

Recognise and choose the correct entries to fill in the blanks in the table that show economic activities, examples, and interdependence.

Column A (Economic Activity)	Column B (Example)	Column C (Inter -dependence on Other Economic Activities)
Primary	1	Provides inputs for secondary activities
Secondary	Manufacturing of garments	2
Tertiary	Banking, transport, communication	Supports both primary and secondary sectors

Choose the correct option-

• A. 1: Manufacturing of furniture, 2: Supports tertiary sector
• B. 1: IT services, 2: Provides raw materials to secondary sector
• C. 1: Farming/mining, 2: Relies on raw materials from primary sector
• D. 1: Banking/transport, 2: Relies on outputs from tertiary sector

Hint:

Decide which sector farming and mining belong to, and which sector depends on their raw materials.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understand the three sectors:
The primary sector grows or extracts natural products (farming, mining, fishing). The secondary sector turns these into other goods in factories. The tertiary sector gives services (banking, transport, communication).

Step 2: Fill blank 1:
Blank 1 is an example of a primary activity. The row also says it provides inputs for secondary activities. Farming and mining do exactly this, because cotton and ores become inputs for factories.

Step 3: Fill blank 2:
Blank 2 shows how the secondary sector depends on others. Garment making needs cotton or yarn, which comes from the primary sector. So blank 2 is: relies on raw materials from the primary sector.

Step 4: Check option A:
Furniture making is a secondary activity, so it cannot be the primary example. A is wrong.

Step 5: Check option B:
IT services are tertiary, not primary. Also providing raw materials is a job of the primary sector, not the secondary sector. B is wrong.

Step 6: Check option D:
Banking and transport are tertiary activities, so they do not belong in the primary row. D is wrong.

Step 7: Check option C:
Farming and mining are primary, and secondary activities rely on the raw materials they give. Both blanks fit. C is correct.

Final Answer:
Blank 1 is farming or mining, and blank 2 is relies on raw materials from the primary sector. This is option C. \[ \boxed{\text{(C)}} \]
