Question

What percentage of the people in Palampur are engaged in non-farm activities?

• A. $50\%$
• B. $30\%$
• C. $25\%$
• D. $15\%$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $25\%$

One-fourth means 25% of the population of Palampur is engaged in non-farming activities like shop-keeping, dairy, manufacturing and transport.
Shop-keepers buy goods from wholesalers in Shahpur and sell them in Palampur. Milk from the dairies in Palampur is transported daily to Raiganj. Some traders from Shahpur have set up collection centres and chilling plants at Raiganj, from where milk is supplied to other towns and cities.
