Option 1: Fixed charge
Option 2: Floating Charge
Option 3: Interest
Option 4: Fixed assets
Correct Answer: Fixed charge
Solution : Answer = Fixed charge
A charge created on specific assets of a permanent nature, like land, buildings, or machinery, is termed a "fixed charge." It provides lenders with a secure claim over those assets in case of default. This ensures that the specified assets are used to repay debts before other claims are settled. Hence, the correct option is 1.
Question : The value of the multiplier is calculated as:
Option 1: 1 / MPS
Option 2: 1 / MPC
Option 3: 1 / (1 - MPC)
Option 4: 1 / (1 - MPS)
Correct Answer: 1 / (1 - MPC)
Solution : The correct answer is (c) 1 / (1 - MPC).
The multiplier represents the overall impact on real GDP (gross domestic product) resulting from an initial change in autonomous expenditure (such as government spending or investment). The formula for calculating the multiplier is 1 divided by the marginal propensity to consume (MPC).
The rationale behind this calculation is that when there is an increase in autonomous expenditure, it stimulates additional spending. The initial increase in expenditure leads to an increase in income, a portion of which is then spent, creating a cycle of further increases in spending and income. The multiplier captures this cumulative effect.
So, to calculate the multiplier, you take 1 and divide it by the marginal propensity to consume (MPC), which represents the proportion of additional income that is consumed rather than saved.
Question : Read the following information carefully and answer the given questions. Big dams received a big push from politicians and bureaucracy pouring enormous amounts of borrowed money in the early years of Independence. There has however been hardly any attempt at questioning the extent of damage caused or in evaluating whether the promises of food, water and prosperity for all have actually been realised. The diversion of rivers and construction of a long system of canals in a densely populated country like India will involve displacement of people on a colossal scale and the people affected are never likely to agree with such measures. All over the world, community reaction is to prevent construction of large dams. Preserving rivers in free-flow condition is considered ecologically necessary and the construction of large dams is now legally prohibited in Sweden and also in parts of USA. The technical challenges to be faced in redrawing the geography of the country are many and full of dangerous consequences and the mad rush in pursuit of such a chimera will prove disastrous. The cost of the project is so stupendous that any water made available will cost so much that governments will have to be forever subsidizing farmers. What long-term impact this massive borrowing will have on the economy is difficult to foresee.
Question:
What are the factors which are mentioned in the passage as the disadvantages of the dams?
Option 1: The ecological imbalance caused due to diversion of rivers
Option 2: Shifting of population on a large scale
Option 3: The construction of dams is banned in Sweden
Option 4: Shifting of people on a large scale and ecological imbalance due to restrictions on the natural flow of rivers
Correct Answer: Shifting of people on a large scale and ecological imbalance due to restrictions on the natural flow of rivers
Solution : The correct answer is option 4.
Displacement of people on a large scale and ecological imbalance due to restrictions on the natural flow of rivers. Explanation: Let us look at the following passage lines: - The diversion of rivers and construction of a long system of canals in a densely populated country like India will involve displacement of people on a colossal scale and the people affected are never likely to agree with such measures. - Preserving rivers in free-flow condition is considered ecologically necessary and the construction of large dams is now legally prohibited in Sweden and a/so in parts of USA. - As a result of the preceding, we can conclude that the correct answer is option 4

The old man was overjoyed when he heard of the invitation. He became nearly incoherent with joy. He was torn between the attraction of the offer and shyness. For the first time, Srinivas observed that the man could be moved by shyness. "No, no, I never eat anywhere. Oh, don't trouble yourself about it... No, no ..." he said but all the same, got up and followed Srinivas into the kitchen. He grinned affably at Srinivas's wife and commented flatteringly: "I have always told a lot of people to come and observe this lady for a model. How well she looks after the house. I wish modern girls were all like her." Srinivas gently propelled him to a plank, on which he sat down. He observed from his wife's face that she was pleased with the compliment, and Srinivas felt that old man's coffee was now assured. His wife came out with a tumbler of water and two leaves and set them in front of them. She then served a couple of cakes on each leaf, and the old man rubbed his hands with the joy of anticipation. At a signal from Srinivas, he fell to; and Srinivas wondered how long it was since the other had had any. "What do you eat at night?" he asked testingly. The old man tore off a piece of cake and stuffed it in his mouth and swallowed it before he answered, shaking his head: 'I'm not a youth. Time was when I used to take three meals a day - three full meals a day in addition to tiffin twice a day. Do you know "That's remarkable." Agreed Srinivas admiringly. "But now what do you do?" "I'm a sanyasi, my dear young man."
