Srsps answered |
- Microeconomic behaviour cannot be added-up to drive macroeconomic behaviour.
- The phenomenon in Microeconomics cannot be generalized for all the units in the economy on an aggregate level.
- For example the theory of an individual firm cannot be universally applied to the whole industrial sector in an economy. The theory of individual consumer behaviour is different from the behaviour of the whole economy’s behaviour at the aggregate level. The demand of a single person may not always match with the economy’s aggregate demand.

Ræjû Bhæï answered |
Micro economics is also known as Price theory because it takes into account the demand and supply of individual units and thus aims to determine the price of a product using the factors of production.
It is also called the Slicing method as it is used in Microeconomics. This is because it divides the economy in slices, parts or individual units for the purpose of in-depth study. And hence the name slicing method.

I'm really nervous about my presentation tomorrow.
Sam: Don't worry, you've got this! Just remember to take deep breaths and speak slowly.
Ram: Thanks for the advice, Sam. I just hope I don't forget anything important.
Sam: You won't forget anything. You've prepared well and you know your material inside out.
Ram: I guess you're right. I just need to believe in myself more.

The incorrect statement is: Business economics only considers micro variables
Business economics, also known as managerial economics, incorporates both microeconomic and macroeconomic variables. It uses concepts from both branches to help managers make decisions and solve problems in business. While it does focus heavily on microeconomic factors such as individual markets, firms, and consumer behavior, it also considers macroeconomic factors like inflation, interest rates, and economic growth that can impact business environments.

Devanshi Rane answered |
Positive economics focuses solely on describing and explaining economic phenomena without making any value judgments about whether they are good or bad. It is concerned with what is, rather than what ought to be. Positive economics aims to provide an objective analysis of economic behavior and outcomes, free from any personal biases or normative assumptions. This allows policymakers and economists to make informed decisions based on data and evidence, rather than personal opinions or beliefs.

Nikita Singh answered |
Correct Answer :- d
Explanation : Economic laws are not hypothetical in nature, while many microeconomic models may involve many assumptions and tend to over simplify situations, the broad theories are still valid in the real world, it has been proven time and again with empirical data.
Normative economics deals with subjective economics, and are grounded in personal opinions rather than empirical facts. They tend to be prescriptive and regulatory in nature (ie, they contain advice on what should be done to solve a particular problem).

Ameya Menon answered |
Capital intensive technique refers to a type of production process that requires a significant amount of capital investment in order to produce goods and services. This technique is often used in industries that require large, expensive machinery or equipment, and it is typically associated with high levels of productivity and output.
Option B is the correct answer because capital surplus economies have a lower relative price of capital. This means that the cost of borrowing money or investing in capital is lower in these economies, making it more attractive for firms to invest in capital-intensive techniques. In contrast, labour surplus economies have a higher relative price of capital, which means that the cost of investing in capital is higher and it may be more cost-effective for firms to use more labour-intensive techniques instead.
Other factors that may influence the choice of capital-intensive technique include:
- Technological advancement: In developed economies where technology is better, firms may be more likely to use capital-intensive techniques that take advantage of advanced machinery or automation.
- Availability of resources: In economies with abundant natural resources, such as oil or minerals, firms may be more likely to invest in capital-intensive techniques that can extract these resources more efficiently.
- Government policies: Government policies can also influence the choice of production techniques, such as tax incentives for investing in certain types of capital or regulations that require firms to use more environmentally-friendly techniques.

Normative economics is concerned with analyzing economic policies or actions in terms of their desirability or usefulness. It seeks to provide guidance to policymakers, governments, and individuals on how to achieve economic goals that are considered desirable or optimal.
Normative economics involves the use of value judgments, which are subjective opinions about what is good or desirable. These value judgments are based on ethical, moral, or political considerations, and they reflect the preferences of individuals and society.
Examples of Normative Statements
Examples of normative statements include:
- The government should increase spending on education and healthcare.
- The minimum wage should be increased to reduce poverty.
- The tax system should be reformed to make it more progressive.
- The government should provide subsidies to renewable energy sources to reduce carbon emissions.

Inequalities of incomes in Economic Systems
Inequalities of income refer to the unequal distribution of income among individuals in a society. Economic systems differ in the degree of income inequality they allow.
Capitalist Economic System
Under the capitalist economic system, income inequality is relatively high. This is because the system is based on the principles of competition and profit maximization, which can result in some individuals accumulating vast amounts of wealth while others struggle to make ends meet. The capitalist system rewards those who are able to work harder or smarter than others or who are lucky enough to have access to resources that are in high demand.
Mixed Economic System
In a mixed economic system, income inequality can vary depending on the specific policies and regulations in place. The degree of income inequality can be reduced by implementing policies such as progressive taxation, social welfare programs, and minimum wage laws. However, in mixed economic systems, the distribution of income is still likely to be unequal, as some individuals will always have more skills, abilities, and resources than others.
Socialist Economic System
The socialist economic system is based on the principle of economic equality, and income inequality is relatively low. In a socialist system, the means of production are owned and controlled by the state or the community, and everyone is entitled to a share of the wealth generated by the economy. This means that income is distributed more evenly, and there is less of a gap between the rich and the poor.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the correct answer is option 'B': socialist economic system. This is because the socialist system is based on the principle of economic equality, and income inequality is relatively low.

Aarya Sharma answered |
Origin of the Term 'Economics'
The term 'Economics' has its roots in ancient Greek, specifically from the word "Oikonomia."
Meaning of Oikonomia
- The Greek word "Oikonomia" translates to "household management" or "management of a household."
- It is derived from two components: "oikos," meaning house or household, and "nomos," meaning law or management.
Evolution of the Term
- Initially, "Oikonomia" referred to the management of resources within a household.
- Over time, the scope expanded to encompass broader principles of resource allocation, production, and consumption within societies.
Modern Interpretation
- Today, economics is viewed as the study of how individuals, businesses, and governments allocate scarce resources to meet their needs and wants.
- It includes various branches such as microeconomics, macroeconomics, international economics, and more.
Importance of Understanding its Origin
- Grasping the origin of the term helps in understanding the fundamental principles of economics.

A key factor in the issue of poverty. Poverty is often defined as a lack of income or resources to meet basic needs, such as food, housing, and healthcare. In this sense, poverty is a result of economic factors such as low wages, unemployment, and underemployment.
Economics also plays a role in the distribution of resources and wealth in society, which can contribute to the persistence of poverty. For example, if resources and wealth are concentrated in the hands of a few wealthy individuals or corporations, it can limit the opportunities and resources available to those living in poverty.
Additionally, economic policies and systems can either help or hinder efforts to reduce poverty. For example, policies that support job creation, education, and social safety nets can help to reduce poverty. On the other hand, policies that prioritize the interests of the wealthy or do not address the root causes of poverty can exacerbate the problem.
Overall, the study of poverty requires an understanding of economics and the structural factors that contribute to poverty, as well as the policies and interventions that can help to address it.

Positive Economics
Positive economics is a branch of economics that is concerned with the cause-and-effect relationship between economic phenomena. It involves the study of economic facts, theories, and data with the aim of establishing objective and verifiable statements about economic phenomena. Positive economics is descriptive in nature and seeks to explain what is, rather than what ought to be.
Features of Positive Economics
1. Objective: Positive economics is objective as it is based on data and facts that can be tested and verified.
2. Descriptive: It describes what is happening in the economy and is not concerned with normative judgments or opinions about what should be happening.
3. Scientific: Positive economics uses the scientific method and relies on empirical evidence to test economic theories and hypotheses.
4. Predictive: Positive economics seeks to make predictions about future economic events based on past and current trends.
Examples of Positive Economics
1. The law of supply and demand: This is a positive economic theory that explains how the price of a good or service is determined by the interaction of supply and demand.
2. The theory of comparative advantage: This is a positive economic theory that explains why countries specialize in producing certain goods and services and trade with each other.
3. The Phillips curve: This is a positive economic theory that explains the relationship between unemployment and inflation.
Conclusion
Positive economics is an important branch of economics that helps us to understand the cause-and-effect relationship between economic phenomena. It is based on empirical evidence and seeks to establish objective and verifiable statements about the economy. By studying positive economics, we can make better-informed decisions and policies that are grounded in fact and evidence.

The government to its citizens. These benefits are intended to ensure that all citizens have access to basic necessities of life, such as healthcare, financial support, and security in old age. Social insurance programs are typically funded through taxes and are designed to provide a safety net for those who need it most. Sickness benefits are designed to provide financial assistance to those who are unable to work due to illness or injury, while old age pension programs are intended to provide financial support to those who have retired from the workforce. Other social benefits may include unemployment benefits, disability benefits, and housing assistance programs. Overall, social benefits are an important component of any welfare state and are intended to promote social justice and improve the quality of life for all citizens.

Sanjana Khanna answered |
Socialist economy is an economic system in which the means of production and distribution are owned and controlled by the state or by the community as a whole. The main features of socialist economy are:
Economic planning: In a socialist economy, the state or the central planning agency decides what to produce, how much to produce, and at what price to sell. The resources are allocated according to the needs of the society rather than the profit motive.
Social welfare: The socialist economy aims to provide social welfare to all the citizens. It provides free education, healthcare, housing, and other basic amenities to the people.
Economic equalities: In a socialist economy, the income and wealth are distributed equally among the citizens. There is no concept of private ownership of property, and the resources are shared among the people.
However, the feature that is not a part of socialist economy is:
Private ownership of productive resources: In a socialist economy, the means of production and distribution are owned and controlled by the state or by the community as a whole. There is no concept of private ownership of property.
Therefore, option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:
Positive economics is concerned with the study of what is. It focuses on the objective analysis of economic data and facts. Positive economics is based on scientific methods and involves the use of empirical evidence to test economic theories and hypotheses. Positive economics is also known as descriptive economics.
Positive economics is concerned with answering questions such as:
- What are the causes of inflation?
- How does a change in interest rates affect economic growth?
- What is the impact of a tax on consumer behavior?
Positive economics is an important tool for policymakers, as it provides them with objective data and information that they can use to make informed decisions. For example, if policymakers want to know the effects of a particular policy on the economy, they can use positive economics to analyze the data and determine the likely outcomes of the policy.
In contrast, normative economics is concerned with what ought to be. Normative economics involves making value judgments and evaluating economic policies based on moral, ethical, and political considerations. Normative economics is subjective and depends on individual opinions and beliefs.
Positive economics is important because it enables us to understand how the economy works. By analyzing economic data and trends, we can gain insights into economic behavior and make predictions about future economic outcomes. This knowledge can be used to inform policy decisions and improve economic outcomes for individuals and society as a whole.

The private ownership of the means of production and the pursuit of profit as the primary motivation for economic activity. This means that individuals and businesses are free to own and use property, invest capital, and trade goods and services in a competitive market. This competition drives innovation, efficiency, and growth, as businesses seek to satisfy consumer demand and maximize profits. Additionally, the freedom to own and accumulate wealth creates incentives for individuals to work hard, take risks, and innovate, leading to increased productivity and economic prosperity. However, critics argue that capitalism can also lead to income inequality, exploitation of workers, and environmental degradation, and that government regulation and intervention may be necessary to address these issues.

Many markets, where different prices are charged for the same product or service based on different criteria. For example, in the airline industry, different prices are charged for the same flight ticket based on factors such as time of booking, time of travel, class of travel, and availability. Similarly, in the healthcare industry, different prices are charged for the same medical procedure based on factors such as insurance coverage, hospital affiliation, and location. Dual pricing systems can be beneficial for companies to maximize profits and cater to different customer segments, but they can also be controversial and lead to accusations of discrimination or unfairness.

Srsps answered |
The correct answer is Option d 'None of the above'
- Scarcity exists because resources are limited while human desires are unlimited.
- In the pre-independent Indian economy, though many were farmers, resources like land and tools were still limited.
- In a mythical economy where everyone is a billionaire, scarcity persists as not all goods and services can be endlessly produced.
- Even with equal income distribution, the demand for goods may exceed supply, causing scarcity.
- Thus, none of these economies are without scarcity.

Well as a science. It involves the study of how individuals, businesses, and governments make decisions about how to allocate resources to meet their needs and wants. Economics utilizes mathematical and statistical models to analyze data and make predictions about future economic trends. However, it also involves a degree of subjectivity and interpretation, as different economists may have different opinions on the best way to approach economic problems. Therefore, economics can be considered both a science and an art, as it requires both technical expertise and creative thinking.

A social science that recognizes the importance of equity and justice in economic systems. It acknowledges that the distribution of income and wealth is not just a matter of economic efficiency, but also a matter of social justice, human dignity, and political stability. Therefore, economics should aim to develop policies that address the root causes of inequality and promote inclusive growth, rather than simply relying on market mechanisms to allocate resources. This requires a holistic approach that considers the interplay of economic, social, and political factors, and involves a collective effort from all stakeholders to work towards a fairer and more just society.

- Madhu suggests that the Government ought to guarantee income stability, which is a recommendation or opinion.

One common criticism of capitalism is that it can lead to income inequality, which can result in social and economic problems. Another criticism is that capitalism can promote short-term thinking and a focus on profits over other important considerations, such as environmental protection or social welfare. However, these criticisms are subjective and debatable. It is up to individuals to form their own opinions about the strengths and weaknesses of capitalism as a system.

Understanding Price Mechanism
The price mechanism is a fundamental concept in economics, particularly in market-oriented systems. It refers to the way prices are determined through supply and demand dynamics, influencing resource allocation.
Market Economy
- In a market economy, prices are set based on consumer preferences and resource availability.
- The forces of supply and demand interact freely, allowing prices to fluctuate.
- This mechanism efficiently allocates resources without central planning.
Capitalist Economy
- A capitalist economy is characterized by private ownership and profit-driven enterprises.
- The price mechanism plays a crucial role in guiding businesses on what to produce based on consumer demand.
- It facilitates competition, leading to innovation and improved goods and services.
Regulated Economy
- In a regulated economy, government intervention limits the price mechanism.
- Price controls may be implemented to stabilize the economy or protect consumers.
- Therefore, the price mechanism is not a defining feature in such economies.
Mixed Economy
- A mixed economy combines elements of both market and regulated economies.
- While the price mechanism operates in many sectors, government intervention in key areas can distort price signals.
- Thus, the price mechanism is present but not as dominant as in purely market or capitalist economies.
Conclusion
Given this understanding, the correct answer is option 'D' - the price mechanism is a critical feature of both market economies and capitalist economies, as they primarily rely on free market forces for pricing. In contrast, regulated and mixed economies incorporate elements of government control, which can disrupt the price mechanism's efficacy.

The demands and preferences of consumers. Producers will produce goods and services that they believe will be profitable and in high demand. The market will determine the price of these goods and services based on supply and demand. Therefore, what to produce in a capitalistic economy is primarily determined by consumer demand and the profit potential of the product or service.

Economics is often called the science of choice making because it involves:
- Making decisions about how to use limited resources.
- Choosing between alternative uses for these resources.
- Balancing between different means and ends.
This means that economics is fundamentally about selecting the best options when faced with scarcity and multiple possibilities.
