With reference to the sectors of the Indian economy, consider the following pairs: 1. Storage of agricultural produce — Secondary 2. Dairy farm — Primary 3. Mineral exploration — Tertiary 4. Weaving cloth — Secondary How many of the pairs given above are correctly matched?

Only two

Pairs 2 and 4 are correctly matched. Dairy farming belongs to the primary sector because it involves animal husbandry and the direct use of natural resources. Weaving cloth is a manufacturing activity and therefore belongs to the secondary sector. Pair 1 is incorrect because storage or warehousing is a service activity, generally classified under the tertiary sector. Pair 3 is incorrect in the conventional sectoral classification used for this question: mineral exploration is associated with the primary/extractive sector, not the tertiary sector. Thus, only two pairs are correctly matched.
