Solution

A higher calorie intake is fixed for rural areas because rural workers typically engage in harder physical labour compared to urban workers. Due to this greater physical effort, rural people require more energy, hence a higher average daily calorie intake of 2,400 calories, compared to 2,100 calories for urban areas. This accounts for their increased energy needs to sustain their work activities.
