Mira nambiar answered
The assertion is that SHG (Self-Help Group) is a formal source of credit, while the reason given is that it helps the borrower to overcome the problem of lack of collateral. Let's evaluate whether both the assertion and reason are true and whether the reason explains the assertion correctly.

• Assertion: SHG is a formal source of credit.
This assertion is true as SHGs are registered under government schemes and are recognized as formal institutions.

• Reason: It helps the borrower to overcome the problem of lack of collateral.
This reason is also true as SHGs provide credit to their members based on mutual trust and cooperation, without requiring any collateral.

However, the reason given does not correctly explain the assertion. While it is true that SHGs help borrowers overcome the lack of collateral, this is not the only reason why SHGs are considered a formal source of credit. Other factors that make SHGs a formal source of credit include:

• SHGs are registered under government schemes and are recognized as formal institutions.
• SHGs follow a set of rules and regulations, maintain proper records, and undergo regular audits.
• SHGs provide credit to their members based on mutual trust and cooperation, and also offer other services such as savings, insurance, and entrepreneurship training.

Therefore, option D is the correct answer as the assertion is true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

Which of the following things money cannot buy?

    Building

    Pollution free environment
  • c)
    Flowers
  • d)
    Books
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Pooja Shah answered
Money cannot buy all the goods and services that a person may need to live well. Income by itself is not a completely adequate indicator of material goods and services that citizens are able to use. For example, normally, money cannot buy a pollution-free environment or ensure that a person gets unadulterated medicines, unless a person can afford to shift to a community that already has all these things. Money may also not be able to protect individual from infections, disease, unless the whole of our community takes preventive steps.

Arpita Nambiar answered
The correct court to which a consumer can approach with a claim of Rs. 40 lakhs is the State Consumer Court.

Explanation:

The Consumer Protection Act, 2019 provides for the establishment of three-tier consumer dispute redressal mechanism:

1. District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission at the district level
2. State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission at the state level
3. National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission at the national level

The jurisdiction of these courts is determined by the value of the claim:

2. State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission: Between Rs. 20 lakhs and Rs. 1 crore
3. National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission: Above Rs. 1 crore

Therefore, in the given scenario, since the claim amount is Rs. 40 lakhs, the appropriate court for the consumer to approach would be the State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission.

  • d)
    none of the above
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Explanation:

Globalisation refers to the integration of economies, societies and cultures of different countries. It has a profound impact on the competition among producers. The correct answer to the given question is option 'A' i.e. more competition among producers. Let's understand why:

Reasons:

1. Increased market size: Globalisation increases the market size for producers as they can now sell their products to customers all over the world. This leads to more competition among producers as they are all vying for the same customers.

2. Lower trade barriers: Globalisation leads to the reduction of trade barriers between countries. Producers can now import and export goods more easily, which increases competition among producers as they are now competing with producers from other countries.

3. Advancements in technology: Globalisation has led to advancements in technology, which has made it easier for producers to produce and sell goods. This has increased competition among producers as they are now able to produce goods more efficiently and at a lower cost.

4. Increased access to capital: Globalisation has led to an increase in access to capital for producers. This has enabled them to invest in research and development, which has led to the creation of new and innovative products. This has increased competition among producers as they are now competing with producers who have access to the latest technology.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, globalisation has resulted in more competition among producers. This competition has led to innovations in products, lower prices for consumers and increased efficiency in production. However, it has also led to job losses in some sectors and increased inequality.
