5 The mean monthly salary paid to all employees in accompany is Rs 1600. The mean monthly salaries 
paid to technical and non technical employees are Rs 1800 and Rs 1200 respectively. Determine the 
ratio of technical and non technical employees. 
Combined Mean 
X12 = X1N1 +X2N2/N1+N2 
1600 = 1800N1 + 1200 N2/N1 + N2……………….0.5mk 
1600N1 + 1600N2 = 1800N1 + 1200N2…………..0.5mk 
1600N2- 1200N2 = 1800N1 – 1600N1……………….1mk 
400N2 = 200N1

FAQs on Class 11 Economics Previous Year Paper - 2 - Economics Class 11 - Commerce

1. What are the major objectives of fiscal policy?
Ans. The major objectives of fiscal policy are to promote economic growth, maintain price stability, achieve full employment, and ensure equitable distribution of income and wealth. Fiscal policy involves the use of government spending, taxation, and borrowing to influence the overall state of the economy.
2. How does expansionary fiscal policy work to stimulate economic growth?
Ans. Expansionary fiscal policy involves increasing government spending and/or reducing taxes to stimulate economic growth. When the government spends more or reduces taxes, it injects more money into the economy, increasing aggregate demand. This increased demand leads to higher production and employment levels, ultimately stimulating economic growth.
3. What is the difference between revenue expenditure and capital expenditure?
Ans. Revenue expenditure refers to the expenses incurred by the government on day-to-day operations and maintenance of the government machinery. It includes expenses on salaries, pensions, subsidies, interest payments, etc. On the other hand, capital expenditure refers to the expenses incurred by the government on creating assets or investments that yield benefits over a long period of time. It includes expenses on infrastructure development, construction of schools, hospitals, etc.
4. What is the role of the Reserve Bank of India in fiscal policy?
Ans. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) plays a crucial role in fiscal policy implementation. It acts as the government's banker and provides banking services to the government. It manages the government's accounts, facilitates borrowing, and regulates the money supply in the economy. The RBI also advises the government on various fiscal matters and ensures the stability of the financial system.
5. How does fiscal deficit affect the economy?
Ans. Fiscal deficit occurs when the government's total expenditure exceeds its total revenue in a fiscal year. It is usually financed through borrowing, which leads to an increase in public debt. A high fiscal deficit can have negative effects on the economy, such as higher interest rates, inflationary pressures, and crowding out of private investment. It can also lead to a higher debt burden, which may limit the government's ability to spend on productive sectors in the future.
