21 Explain three stages of “resources planning “ 3

22 What is the difference between Stock and Reserve 3

23 Read the sources given below and answer the questions that follows-

Read the source and answer the following questions. After primary and secondary, there is a
third category of activities that falls under tertiary sector and is different from the above two. These are
activities that help in the development of the primary and secondary sectors. These activities, by
themselves, do not produce a good but they are an aid or a support for the production process. For
example, goods that are produced in the primary or secondary sector would need to be transported by
trucks or trains and then sold in wholesale and retail shops. At times, it may be necessary to store these in
godowns. We also may need to talk to others over telephone or send letters (communication) or borrow
money from banks (banking) to help production and trade. Transport, storage, communication, banking,
trade are some examples of tertiary activities. Since these activities generate services rather than goods,
the tertiary sector is also called the service sector.

Service sector also includes some essential services that may not directly help in the production of goods.
For example, we require teachers, doctors, and those who provide personal services such as washermen,
barbers, cobblers, lawyers, and people to do administrative and accounting works. In recent times, certain
new services based on information technology such as internet café, ATM booths, call centres, software
companies etc have become important.
