**What are Basic Industries?**
Basic industries are those industries that provide the necessary raw materials for other industries and contribute to the overall growth and development of the economy.

**Iron and Steel - A Basic Industry:**
Iron and steel industry is considered a basic industry because it plays a crucial role in the development of various sectors of the economy. It is the foundation and backbone of industrialization and is involved in the production of essential goods required by other industries.

**Raw Material Production:**
1. Iron and steel industry is involved in the extraction of iron ore and coal, which are the primary raw materials required for the production of iron and steel.
2. Iron ore is mined from iron ore reserves and coal is obtained from coal mines.
3. These raw materials undergo various processes like mining, beneficiation, and transportation before they are used in the production of iron and steel.

**Iron and Steel Production:**
1. The iron and steel industry involves the conversion of iron ore into iron, and then further processing it to produce steel.
2. Iron ore is smelted in blast furnaces where it is heated with coke (produced from coal) and limestone to remove impurities and obtain pig iron.
3. The pig iron is then converted into steel through various processes like basic oxygen furnace or electric arc furnace.

**Contribution to Economy:**
1. The iron and steel industry provides the necessary raw materials for the manufacturing of various products like automobiles, machinery, construction materials, etc.
2. It contributes significantly to the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) and employment generation.

Assertion: Agriculture and industry are not exclusive of each other.
Reason: The key to the decision of the factory location is the least cost.
  • a)
    Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
  • b)
    Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • c)
    A is correct but R is wrong
  • d)
    A is wrong but R is correct
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Assertion: Agriculture and Industry are Interconnected
The assertion highlights the interdependence of agriculture and industry. While they may seem distinct sectors, they are actually complementary in many ways.
- Supply Chain Synergy:
- Agriculture provides raw materials for industries, such as food processing, textiles, and biofuels.
- Industries, in turn, supply equipment and technology that can enhance agricultural productivity.
- Economic Development:
- Both sectors are essential for economic growth. A thriving agricultural sector can lead to increased demand for industrial products, while a robust industrial base can improve agricultural efficiency.
Reason: Decision Factors in Factory Location
The reason focuses on the cost considerations in factory location decisions.
- Cost Efficiency:
- Factories are often located where production costs are minimized, which includes factors like labor, materials, and transportation.
- This does not directly explain the relationship between agriculture and industry but highlights a common factor in economic activities.
- Location Benefits:
- Proximity to agricultural sources can reduce transportation costs for raw materials, showcasing the interconnectedness of both sectors.
Conclusion
While both the assertion and reason are correct, the reason does not serve as a direct explanation for the assertion. Instead, it demonstrates a broader economic principle about cost in factory location without addressing the specific relationship between agriculture and industry.
Thus, the correct choice is option 'B': Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
