Question

The data obtained from the register with a security guard, regarding the number of people present at different times of the day will be classified under ____.

• A. Primary Data
• B. Secondary Data
• C. Both A and B
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Secondary Data

The security guard would ask the person to manually enter their details in the register, which includes the entry and the exit time. We just have to go through the register in order to find the number of people present at different times of the day. This kind of data will thus be classified under secondary data.
