Explanation:

(i)GDP is the final value of the goods and services produced within the geographic boundaries of a country during a specified period of time, normally a year. GDP growth rate is an important indicator of the economic performance of a country.

(ii)Primary sector means using the product directly from the environment and secondary sector means that the product taken from primary sector is being processed and is sold by including taxes. Thus, secondary sector helps in the development of primary sector.

(iii)Theravada Buddhism is the official religion of Sri Lanka, with about 70.2% of the country's population as followers. Arahath Mahinda, son of Indian Buddhist emperor Ashoka, led the mission to Sri Lanka in 246 BCE when he converted the Sri Lankan king, Devanampiya Tissa, to Buddhism.

(iv)Mayor is the official post for the chairperson of a Municipal Corporation

(v)Social division takes place when some social differences overlap with each other. In India social division is based on language, religion, and caste. In our country Dalits tends to be poor and landless. They often face discrimination and injustice. If we worship or follow a god or goddess then also we face discrimination. We often face discrimination on the way we speak in various parts of our country.
