Detailed Solution

Only disguised unemployment and seasonal unemployment are common in rural areas.
It is in urban areas that educated unemployment is common.
1) Disguised unemployment is a situation where a person is a part of the labour force, but either doesn't have work to do or is working redundantly. Either way, the worker's productivity is zero as he cannot realise the true potential of his skills. For example, a family of five might be working on a farm, but only two are required, and the other three aren't contributing much to production.
2) Seasonal unemployment: A worker is employed for a few months of the year but unemployed for the rest of the months. For example, a farmer who is growing seasonal crops.
