Model Answer
(A) 380
Unorganised sector workers: Farmers (250) + Handloom weavers (70) + Total = 320.
Wait — re-checking: 250 + 70 = 320. The correct answer is (C) 320.
Explanation
Farmers working their own fields and handloom weavers working at home are unorganised sector workers (no formal employment protection, no fixed terms). Teachers in schools, workers in big factories, and hospital employees belong to the organised sector. 250 + 70 = 320. Option (C) is correct. Students often mistakenly include factory workers — remember, big factories are organised sector enterprises.
