Question

Assertion (A): Secondary sector is also known as manufacturing sector.

Reason (R): Secondary sector produces goods by exploiting natural resources.

विकल्प

• Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

• Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

• Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.

• Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is true.

Answer 1

Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.

Explanation:

• The Assertion (A) is true because the secondary sector is also known as the manufacturing sector. It involves the process of making finished goods from raw materials.
• The Reason (R) is false because the secondary sector does not produce goods by exploiting natural resources directly. Instead, it transforms raw materials usually obtained from the primary sector into finished products.

Thus, the Reason provides an incorrect explanation of the Assertion.
