Which out of the following is/are true?

1) Primary cooperation is always Direct in nature

2) Secondary cooperation may be Direct or Indirect

3) Direct cooperation may be primary or secondary

4) Indirect cooperation is always secondary

Choose the correct answer from the codes given below.

1, 2, 3, 4

1, 2, 3

1, 2, 4

2, 3, 4

Explanation:

Let’s break down each statement:

- Primary cooperation is always direct in nature

- This is true. Think of family, close friends—cooperation is face-to-face and personal.

- Secondary cooperation may be direct or indirect

- Also true. In big organizations, you can cooperate directly (like a meeting) or indirectly (like working on the same project at different times).

- Direct cooperation may be primary or secondary

- Yep, spot on. Direct isn’t tied to just primary groups—it happens in both primary (close relationships) and secondary (formal, big groups) settings.

- Indirect cooperation is always secondary

- True again. Indirect cooperation (like workers in a big company never meeting but helping the same goal) doesn’t happen in intimate, primary groups.

So the correct option covers all four statements.

Option 1 (1, 2, 3, 4) is the right answer.
