with the help of time horizon, there is discussion about different expected time to complete
investigation. There are two types of time horizon i.e. longitudinal and cross sectional. In this
study, cross sectional is used because there is pre- determination of time for each activity. This
helps to complete whole study within specified time.
Sampling- Sampling is the process through which some respondents are selected from
whole population for collecting their views. In this investigation, simple probable random
