Solution

Economy is the large set of inter-related production and consumption activities that aid in determining how scarce resources are allocated. This is also known as an economic system.

Every human being keeps himself occupied in some activity to satisfy human wants; such activities are known as human activities. These activities are broadly classified as economic and non-economic activities. While economic activities are those conducted with an aim of earning money or acquiring wealth, non-economic activities are performed free of cost, with service motive.
