Producer surplus is the amount that producers benefit by selling at a market price that is higher than the least that they would be willing to sell for; this is roughly equal to profit (since producers are not normally willing to sell at a loss and are normally indifferent to selling at a break-even price). \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The housing trend of 'Expandable Dwelling is associated with: \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n Apartment Housing\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n Core Housing\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n Row Housing\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n Detached Housing\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Core housing is an attempt at providing low-cost partial-provision habitable housing\nthat serves as an alternative to the conventional full-provision type.

It's a thermal treatment method used to dispose of various types of waste\, including municipal solid waste (MSW)\, hazardous waste\, and medical waste.

But it can be argued that ‘Complex Index’ should be the correct answer. The reason is given below. \nPrincipal Component Analysis is a statistical technique used mainly for data reduction and identifying patterns in large datasets. It transforms correlated variables into a set of uncorrelated variables (principal components). While it can theoretically be used to study disparities\, it is not the standard or historically used method in India for measuring regional imbalances. The Composite Index method\, on the other hand\, has been explicitly used by Indian committees and commissions (e.g.\, Planning Commission\, Dholakia Committee\, Bawa & Raizada) to measure and compare the level of development of different states/regions. It combines indicators like per capita income\, literacy\, industrial output\, etc.\, into a single index. So\, PCA is more of an advanced statistical tool\, but the recognized and applied method for regional disparities in India is the Composite Index method. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n A metropolitan area consists of \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n Several small towns\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n A city with a subway system\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n A central city and surrounding suburbs and small towns\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n The city only\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n A metropolitan area is defined as a large urban region that includes a main city and the smaller towns and suburbs that are connected to it economically and socially. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Community Development Programme was initiated primarily to \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n Bring out development of urban facilities\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n Increase the levels of overall development of the villages through self-help\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n Increase the control of the masses over the locally available resources\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n Bring in development among the people by raising the literacy level\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Increase the levels of overall development of the villages through self-help\nExplanation:  The Community Development Programme (1952) was launched to achieve holistic rural development by mobilizing people to use local resources and work collectively.
