Introduction:
Basket weaving, pottery, and other handicrafts are examples of traditional crafts that have been practiced for centuries. These crafts are often produced on a small scale and are typically made by individual artisans or small groups of artisans. They are considered to be part of the cottage industry.
Explanation:
Cottage industries are small-scale, decentralized manufacturing businesses that are typically run from the homes of the workers. These industries often rely on manual labor and traditional techniques to produce handmade goods. Basket weaving, pottery, and other handicrafts are perfect examples of cottage industries because:
1. Handmade production: These crafts are typically made by hand using traditional methods and techniques. Each piece is unique and reflects the skill and creativity of the artisan.
2. Small-scale production: Basket weaving, pottery, and other handicrafts are usually produced in small quantities. The production process is often labor-intensive and time-consuming, making it difficult to scale up production.
3. Local sourcing of materials: Artisans often source their materials locally, such as using locally grown fibers for basket weaving or clay from nearby sources for pottery. This not only supports local economies but also adds uniqueness to the products.
4. Artistic expression: Handicrafts are often regarded as an art form, allowing artisans to express their creativity and cultural heritage through their work. These crafts carry a sense of tradition and are deeply rooted in local culture.
5. Market demand: Handicrafts have a niche market, with consumers appreciating the authenticity and uniqueness of these products. They are often sought after as decorative items or as gifts.
Conclusion:
Basket weaving, pottery, and other handicrafts are prime examples of cottage industries. They embody the traditional craftsmanship, artistic expression, and cultural heritage of a region. These industries provide opportunities for artisans to showcase their skills and contribute to the local economy while preserving traditional techniques and knowledge.

We can say that ,
The above given sentence is given in Passive Voice :-
Use structure “subject + auxiliary + past participle + by + object”
The beggar was laughed at by the boy.
Thus , option B will be required answer .

Hence, Option D is correct.

for a given AP, the Nth term is:
a(n) = a + (n-1) x d
a(17) = a + (17−1) x d
a(17) = a + 16 x d
a(10) = a+9(d)
a(17) – a(10) = 7
(a + 16 x d) − (a + 9 x d) = 7
7 x d = 7
d = 1

Let AB be the kite and AC be the level ground
So that BC - AC.
At that point, ∠BAC = 60°and BC = 75m. Let AB = x meters.
Presently AB/BC = coses60° = 2/ √3
=> x/75 = 2/√3 => x = 150/√3 = 150 * √3/3 = 50 √3m.
∴ Length of the string = 50 √3m.

The number of students who play both the games = (30 + 50 + 40)% – 100% = 20%
Hence, Option D is correct.

Runs → A : B = (16 – 1) : 16 = 15 : 16

Hence, Option A is correct.

Hence, Option B is correct.

Given that, p = ab² = a × b × b
and q = a³b = a × a × a × b
∴ LCM of p and q = LCM (ab²,a³b) = a × b × b × a × a = a³b²
[Since, LCM is the product of the greatest power of each prime factor involved in the numbers].   

Given:

The ratio of the present age of Annu and Raj = 4 : 5

Then after 8 years ratio of their age = 5 : 6

Calculation:

Let be assume the present age of Annu and Raj is 4x and 5x respectively

⇒ (4x + 8)/(5x + 8) = 5/6

⇒ 24x + 48 = 25x + 40

⇒ x = 8

⇒ The age of Annu = 4x = 4 × 8 = 32

⇒ The age of Raj = 5x = 5 × 8 = 40

∴ The required result will be 32 years, and 40 years respectively.

Hence, the person will be allowed to write a written test.

According to the information given in the question, we can draw the following diagram.

AC = 40 km
BC = 30 km
AB = AC - BC
AB = 40 - 30
AB = 10 km
Ravi is 10 km away from his starting point.
Hence, the correct answer is "10 km".
