Question

Which of the following statements is/are incorrect?

1. A large proportion of urban population is engaged in primary activities.
2. Motor vehicles are the major source of air pollution in urban areas.

Options

• Only I

• Only II

• Both I and II

• None of these

Answer 1

Only I

Explanation:

A large proportion of urban population is not engaged in primary activities. The urban sector depends more on secondary (industrial) and tertiary (services) activities, while the rural sector has a large proportion involved in primary activities such as agriculture. Urban areas face significant air pollution largely due to motor vehicle emissions, which produce harmful gases and particulate matter contributing to urban air quality degradation.
