Solutions
6 answers · same numbers294.(A) Jalandhar
Jalandhar is famous for making sports goods such as cricket bats, hockey sticks and footballs, and along with Meerut is one of India's two big sports-goods centres. Ludhiana is known for hosiery, woollens and bicycle parts instead.
295.(D) Mandi Gobindgarh
Mandi Gobindgarh in Fatehgarh Sahib district is called the 'Steel Town' (Loha Mandi) of Punjab, with hundreds of steel re-rolling mills and induction furnaces. Ludhiana is known for hosiery and cycle parts, Jalandhar for sports goods and Hoshiarpur for wood inlay work.

The Ludhiana Stock Exchange, set up in 1983 in the state's industrial and commercial hub, was Punjab's only stock exchange. Like most regional exchanges it lost its business to NSE and BSE, and SEBI withdrew its recognition in 2014, so it no longer operates; since then Punjab has had no functioning stock exchange.

Kartarpur in Jalandhar district is Punjab's traditional furniture town, known for its carved wooden beds, sofas and other furniture sold across north India. Khanna is famous for its grain market (Asia's largest), Mansa is a cotton-belt town and Kiratpur Sahib is a religious town.

Common questions about Economy & Industry in PPSC
How many Economy & Industry questions come in PPSC exams?
The Commission set 6 Economy & Industry questions across 9 papers between 2016–2023. That is the whole set, not a sample — every one of them is in the book, and the 6 most-asked are on this page free.
Are PPSC Economy & Industry questions repeated?
Yes. 2 of these 6 were set in more than one exam, which is why they are worth working rather than reading. Each question here carries a badge showing how many sittings asked it.
Where can I get Economy & Industry MCQs with answers and solutions?
Here. Every question on this page is a solved MCQ: the four options as printed, the correct answer, and a worked explanation in plain English — not just a letter. The rest of the 6 are in the book, in the same form.
Can I practice these Economy & Industry questions online?
Switch to Attempt mode at the top of the questions. You get one question at a time and it is marked the moment you pick an option, with the reason underneath — the same way the exam feels, on your phone.
Is a PDF available?
The questions are on screen rather than in a downloadable file, so they stay current and correct. The printed book has all 6 of these plus the rest of the Punjab GK section, and every buyer gets the whole thing online as well.
Which papers asked Economy & Industry
The exams behind these questions, most first. A paper here is a sitting: a question set in two papers of the same sitting counts once.
