Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (D)

The correct options are
A Santhalus are common in villages.
B Villages constitute most of India's population.
D There are 25,000 santhalus across India.

Santhalus or weekly markets are said to reach out to a larger section of the population because they are common in villages. Villages do not have shops that sell a variety of goods. There are 25,000 santhalus across India. Since villages constitute most of India's population, santhalus reach out to a larger section of the population.
