Question:
What is NOT true in respect of the periodic markets in rural areas?
Options:
These are found where there are no regular markets.
The shopkeepers remain busy on all the days while a large area is served by them
These markets are held on specified dates and move from one place to another.
None of the above
Correct Answer:
None of the above
Explanation:
All options are correct. Periodic markets in rural areas are found where there are no regular markets and local periodic markets are organised at different temporal intervals. These may be weekly, bi weekly markets from where people from the surrounding areas meet their temporally accumulated demand. These markets are held on specified dates and move from one place to another. The shopkeepers thus, remain busy on all the days while a large area is served by them.
