Match List – I with List – II.

LIST - I (Activities)	LIST - II (Type)
A. Consultants	I. Cottage industry
B. Artefacts	II. Quinary activities
C. Research and development based	III. Tertiary activities
D. Audio visual communication	IV. Quaternary activities

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Answer & explanation

Correct answer: option 1

The correct answer is Option (1) → A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III

A. Consultants — this matches II. Quinary activities. Financial and legal consultants have the special, highly paid skills of the quinary sector.

B. Artefacts — this matches I. Cottage industry. Artisans make artefacts and crafts at home from local materials such as bamboo and wood.

C. Research and development based — this matches IV. Quaternary activities. Quaternary activities centre around research and development.

D. Audio visual communication — this matches III. Tertiary activities. Television is an audio-visual means of communication, and communication is part of tertiary activities.

Consultants also work in tertiary activities. But Option (4), which pairs them with tertiary activities, makes audio visual communication a quinary activity, which is wrong. So only Option (1) fits all four pairs.

NCERT extract

Box (Chapter 6: Tertiary and Quaternary Activities)

“HOUSEHOLD INDUSTRIES OR COTTAGE MANUFACTURING … Some artefacts and crafts are made out of bamboo, wood obtained locally from the forests.”

“Quaternary activities involve some of the following: the collection, production and dissemination of information or even the production of information. Quaternary activities centre around research, development and may be seen as an advanced form of services involving specialised knowledge and technical skills.”

“Tertiary activities include both production and exchange. The production involves the ‘provision’ of services that are ‘consumed’. The output is indirectly measured in terms of wages and salaries. Exchange, involves trade, transport and communication facilities that are used to overcome distance.”
