Correct Answer Explanation
Classification by sex (Male/Female) and location (Rural/Urban) is an example of qualitative classification.
Key Points:
- Sex and location are attributes, not numerical measurements.
- Qualitative classification is based on non-measurable characteristics.
- Other examples: religion, caste, nationality, marital status.
- These cannot be expressed in numerical units but can be categorised.
Why Other Options Are Wrong
- A. Age groups: Age is quantitative (measurable), so this is quantitative classification.
- C. Yearly sales: Time-based classification is temporal.
- D. Income levels: Income is measurable, making it quantitative classification.
