b. Rs. 1190000 Crores
c. Rs. 1350000 Crores
d. Rs. 1615000 Crores

Ans - d
.............................................

Solution :

M1 = currency with public + demand deposit with the banking system + other deposits with RBI
M1 = 345000 + 380000 + 465000
M1 = 1190000

M2 = M1 + Savings deposit of post office savings banks
So,
M2 = 1190000 + 160000
M2 = 1350000 Crores

M3 = M1 + Time deposit with banking system
So,
M3 = 1190000 + 425000
M3 = 1615000 Crores

At Rs. 30 demand for sugar is 500 Kg. When the price falls to Rs. 24, the demand increases to 600 Kg. The price elasticity of demand of sugar is ......

a. 2
b. 2.5
c. 1
d. 1.5

Ans - c

Solution :

Price Elasticity of Demand = % Change in Quantity Demanded / % Change in Price

% Change in Quantity Demanded = 100/500*100 = 20
% Change in Price = 6/30*100 = 20

Price Elasticity of Demand = 20/20 = 1

When chicken prices rise 40%, the quantity of KFC fried chicken supplied rises by 20%. Calculate the price elasticity of supply.

a. 0.25
b. 0.50
c. 0.75
d. 0.85

Ans - b

Solution :

Price Elasticity of Supply = (% change in quantity supplied) / (% change in price)

   = 20/40 = 0.5

Demand for a product at Rs. 10 per unit is 400. If the price elasticity of demand is 1, how much the demand will be at Rs. 16 per unit?

a. 240
b. 200
c. 160
d. 120

Ans - c

Solution :

Price Elasticity of Demand = % Change in Quantity Demanded / % Change in Price

% Change in Quantity Demanded = 400-x/400*100 = (400-x)/4
% Change in Price = 6/10*100 = 60

Price Elasticity of Demand = % Change in Quantity Demanded / % Change in Price
1 = ((400-x)/4)/60
60 = (400-x)/4
240 = 400-x
x = 400-240
x = 160

Calculate broad money M3.

a. Rs. 1125000 Crores
b. Rs. 1190000 Crores
c. Rs. 1350000 Crores
d. Rs. 1615000 Crores

Ans - d
.............................................

Solution :

M1 = currency with public + demand deposit with the banking system + other deposits with RBI
M1 = 345000 + 380000 + 465000
M1 = 1190000

M2 = M1 + Savings deposit of post office savings banks
So,
M2 = 1190000 + 160000
M2 = 1350000 Crores

M3 = M1 + Time deposit with banking system
So,
M3 = 1190000 + 425000
M3 = 1615000 Crores
