the survey. As 6, 9, 7, 5 and 13 has gone with option of once per week, twice per week, Three/Four
time per week, every day and I never go to gym respectively.
Question 6

Understanding outcome of the data collected it has been identified that out of the pool of 40
respondent only 2 respondent thinks that eating fruits and vegetables will change your metabolism. This
is not that good sign at all as there is lack of knowledge about the same in the respondent. At the same
time looking at the positive aspect of the same it has been identified that there are many who is not
sure about the same or having no idea. This ultimately means that with the help of good education and
learning this respondent can be turned in the right way.
RESEARCH LIMITATION
There were two main type of limitation which was seen at the time of finding out the outcome of the
result, one of them is the time allotted to complete the research, it has seen that it was too limited but
with the help of the team member I was able to complete the same. At the same time another limitation
which was identified by researcher was selection of the best source from which different data can be
collected. To overcome the same issue in the research, researcher has taken help of senior as researcher
has checked the viability of different resources before selecting the source.
CONCLUSION
Reason behind conducting this sort of the research for the organization is that it will
eventually help in understanding the situation which is prevailing in regards of the problem
which has been identified in the research. Not only that this research will also prove as a basis
for other research which will be conducted on the basis of the same in the future. Not only that
this research will also help the researcher in building good sort of skill and knowledge which will
ultimately prove as a good basis to carry out any other this type of the activity in the future.
Looking at the key finding which has been derived from the survey it has been identified
that there are many respondent who are not having good sort of knowledge about the balanced or
good diet and what’s the benefit of same. As result derive about the amount of the water need to
drink or benefit of eating fruits and vegetables is not that satisfying
Biggest limitation which was derived at the time of collecting the data was in regards of reaching
all the respondent on time and collecting the data from their side.
