Q1. Consider the following statements about monetary policy instruments: (i) Bank Rate is the rate at which the central bank lends money to commercial banks as a lender of last resort. (ii) An increase in the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) reduces the lending capacity of commercial banks. (iii) To correct deficient demand, the central bank should increase the Repo Rate. (iv) Open Market Operations involve the buying and selling of government securities by the central bank. Which combination of statements is correct?
मौद्रिक नीति के उपकरणों के बारे में निम्नलिखित कथनों पर विचार करें: (i) बैंक दर वह दर है जिस पर केंद्रीय बैंक अंतिम ऋणदाता के रूप में व्यापारिक बैंकों को धन उधार देता है। (ii) नकद आरक्षित अनुपात (CRR) में वृद्धि से व्यापारिक बैंकों की ऋण देने की क्षमता घट जाती है। (iii) अपर्याप्त माँग को ठीक करने के लिए केंद्रीय बैंक को रेपो दर बढ़ानी चाहिए। (iv) खुले बाज़ार परिचालन (Open Market Operations) में केंद्रीय बैंक द्वारा सरकारी प्रतिभूतियों की खरीद और बिक्री शामिल होती है। कथनों का कौन सा संयोजन सही है?
- A. (i), (ii) and (iii) only / केवल (i), (ii) और (iii)
- B. (i), (ii) and (iv) only / केवल (i), (ii) और (iv)
- C. (i), (iii) and (iv) only / केवल (i), (iii) और (iv)
- D. (ii), (iii) and (iv) only / केवल (ii), (iii) और (iv)
Solution
To fight deficient demand, the central bank lowers the Repo Rate to make credit cheaper, not raise it, so (iii) is wrong while (i), (ii) and (iv) correctly describe monetary policy tools.
अपर्याप्त माँग से निपटने के लिए केंद्रीय बैंक ऋण को सस्ता बनाने हेतु रेपो दर घटाता है, न कि बढ़ाता है, इसलिए (iii) गलत है जबकि (i), (ii) और (iv) मौद्रिक नीति के उपकरणों का सही वर्णन करते हैं।
Q2. Assertion (A): To correct a situation of deficient demand, the government should reduce the rate of income tax. Reason (R): A reduction in income tax raises the disposable income of households, which increases consumption expenditure and aggregate demand. Choose the correct option.
कथन (A): अपर्याप्त माँग की स्थिति को ठीक करने के लिए, सरकार को आयकर की दर घटानी चाहिए। कारण (R): आयकर में कमी से घरानों की प्रयोज्य आय बढ़ जाती है, जिससे उपभोग व्यय और कुल माँग में वृद्धि होती है। सही विकल्प चुनें।
- A. A is true, but R is false / A सत्य है, परंतु R असत्य है
- B. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A / A और R दोनों सत्य हैं, और R, A की सही व्याख्या करता है
- C. A is false, but R is true / A असत्य है, परंतु R सत्य है
- D. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A / A और R दोनों सत्य हैं, परंतु R, A की सही व्याख्या नहीं करता है
Solution
Lower income tax leaves households with more disposable income, which they spend, raising consumption and aggregate demand, so R correctly explains A.
आयकर कम होने से घरानों के पास अधिक प्रयोज्य आय रहती है, जिसे वे खर्च करते हैं, इससे उपभोग और कुल माँग बढ़ती है, इसलिए R, A की सही व्याख्या करता है।
Q3. In an economy, the marginal propensity to save (MPS) is 0.2. By how much must autonomous investment increase to raise the equilibrium level of national income by $\$1,000$ crore?
किसी अर्थव्यवस्था में बचत की सीमांत प्रवृत्ति (MPS) 0.2 है। राष्ट्रीय आय के संतुलन स्तर को $\$1,000$ करोड़ बढ़ाने के लिए स्वायत्त निवेश में कितनी वृद्धि आवश्यक होगी?
- A. $\$1,200$ crore / $\$1,200$ करोड़
- B. $\$5,000$ crore / $\$5,000$ करोड़
- C. $\$800$ crore / $\$800$ करोड़
- D. $\$200$ crore / $\$200$ करोड़
Solution
The multiplier $k = \frac{1}{MPS} = \frac{1}{0.2} = 5$, so the required increase in investment is $\frac{1000}{5} = \$200$ crore.
गुणक $k = \frac{1}{MPS} = \frac{1}{0.2} = 5$, इसलिए निवेश में आवश्यक वृद्धि $\frac{1000}{5} = \$200$ करोड़ होगी।
