Options:

Only 2

Only 3

1, 2 and 3

Correct Answer:

Only 3

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 3: Only 3

The three fundamental economic problems are:

  1. What to produce?

    • This refers to the choice of goods and services to be produced based on the needs of the economy.
    • The given statement ("Choice between labour-intensive products or capital-intensive products") is incorrect because it refers to the production method (which falls under "How to produce?").
  2. How to produce?

    • This refers to the technique of production – whether to use labour-intensive or capital-intensive methods.
    • The given statement ("Whether capital goods should be used to produce the goods or not") is incorrect, as it does not fully capture the choice between different production methods (labour-intensive vs. capital-intensive).
  3. Whom to produce?

    • This refers to the distribution of goods and services – deciding which section of society will benefit from production.
    • The given statement ("For which section of society should the products be produced") is correct.
