Question

Do you think the three sectors are independent ? Give reasons,​

Answer 1

Answer:

There are three sectors of economy feasibly found i.e. Primary sector, Secondary sector and Tertiary sector. All the three sectors are interdependent.

Some examples are given to elucidate this fact

(i) Agricultural activities produce raw materials for agro- based industries and food for employees in Secondary and Tertiary sectors. It shows industrial sector and service sector’s dependency on Primary sector.

(ii) Industrial activities produce instruments like tractor, fertiliser for agricultural inputs and increase production and productivity in agriculture. Here, Primary sector depends on Secondary sector.

(iii) Transportation facilities are much required for transportation of agricultural products and industrial products to market rural and urban centres. Here, Primary and Secondary sector depend on Tertiary sector.

(iv) Industrial sector produces trucks, autos etc for transportation, computer assets for proper banking activities and knowledge outsourcing. So, it shows that now Tertiary sector depends on Secondary sector.

(v) If farmer does not produce grain, all people will starve and employees in Secondary and Tertiary sectors will pay much for food items and their life will be scarce.

Answer 2

Answer:

When we exploit natural resources, it is an activity of the primary sector. eg., agriculture, mining, forestry.

ii) The natural resources are changed into other forms through the process of manufacturing, i.re. manufacturing sector uses natural products as its raw materials.

iii) All services that enable us to pursue primary and secondary activities are listed as tertiary activities. For example, transport, education, medical facilities.

iv) Primary and secondary activities cannot produce a good unless they are aided by the tertiary sector.

v) Service sector does not produce a good. For example, the internet cafe, ATM booth, call centres are the services required for manufacturing industries etc. Railways, roads are needed to assist agricultural production.
