Banks face loan stress from farmers and small units. Insurance claims rise.
Consumers face higher prices and shortages.
This shows strong interdependence among the three sectors.
7. A new highway and better internet are introduced in a district. Predict the changes in all three sectors.
Answer:
Primary: Farmers get faster access to markets. Perishable goods reach on time. Input supply improves.
Secondary: Factories get timely raw materials and send finished goods faster. New industrial units may open.
Tertiary:Transport, logistics, e-commerce, and digital payments grow quickly.
Education and health services improve with better connectivity.
Storage and cold chains become more useful and efficient.
Banking and insurance expand in rural areas through digital services.
Overall productivity rises and costs fall across sectors.
8. Compare how a farm village, an industrial town, and a service city depend on each other.
Answer:
The village provides food, milk, and some raw materials.
The industrial town makes machines, tools, fertilizers, and processed foods.
The service city offers banks, IT, education, hospitals, and trade hubs.
The village needs machines, credit, and markets from the town and city.
The town needs raw materials and workers from the village, and design and finance from the city.
The city needs food and consumer goods from village and town to support population.
Together they form a network of exchange and support.
9. Classify and justify: milking cows, making cheese in a factory, selling cheese in a shop, trucking cheese to cities, building a cold storage, mining limestone for dairy equipment.
Answer:
Milking cows:Primary. It uses animal resources to get raw milk.
Making cheese in a factory:Secondary. It processes milk into a finished product.
Selling cheese in a shop:Tertiary. It is retail trade, linking producers and consumers.
Trucking cheese to cities:Tertiary. It is transport, a key support service.
Building a cold storage:Secondary. It is construction, assembling materials into a structure.
Mining limestone for dairy equipment:Primary. It is mining, extracting a mineral.
Each step shows how extraction, processing, and services work in a chain.
10. Electricity is produced in a thermal plant and then supplied by a distribution company. Explain how each part fits into the sector classification.
Answer:
Thermal plant: This is secondary. It uses coal or other inputs to produce electricity.
It processes energy resources, so it is like manufacturing of power.
Transmission and distribution: These are tertiary. They deliver electricity as a service to users.
The billing, maintenance, and customer support are also tertiary services.
Primary links:Coal mining for the plant is primary. Water use also ties to natural resources.
This shows a clear flow: primary inputs → secondary generation → tertiary delivery and support.
It explains why sectors are different but deeply connected.
