Satavahanas became prominent in the Indian political scene sometime in the middle of the first century BC. Simuka was the founder of the Satavahana dynasty and Gautamiputra Satakarni (first century AD) is considered to be the greatest of the Satavahana rulers. The Satavahanas had their capital at Pratishthana (modern Paithan) near Aurangabad in Maharashtra. They were also knownas the Andhras. The Puranas and inscriptions remain important sources for the history of Satavahanas. Among the inscriptions, the Nasik and Nanaghad inscriptions throw much light on the reign of Gautamiputra Satakarni. The coins issued by the Satavahanas are also helpful in knowing the economic conditions of that period.The Satavahana kingdom was wiped out in the first quarter of the third century AD and the Satavahanas kings were succeeded by the Kings of lkshvaku dynasty. Statement 1 is not correct: Satavahana kings started the tradition of making tax free land grants to Buddhists and Brahmanas to gain religious merit. This practice became more prominent in succeeding periods. The Satavahana kings claimed to be Brahmanas and considered it their primary duty to uphold varna system i.e. the four fold division of social structure. Whereas the feudal practice of rewarding and paying officers with land grants begun by Harsha. Statement 2 is not correct: The first coins to bear the names and images of rulers were issued by the Indo-Greeks, who established control over the north-western part of the subcontinent c. second century BCE. Satavahana coins have been found in lead, copper, potin and silver. It is interesting to note that in the Satavahana empire the coinage of lead predominated, though copper and potin as metals for coinage were very popular. A special type of Satavahana coins showing double-masted sailing ships were specifically minted and circulated in the Coromandel Coast area.

Only 1 is correct. When interest rate is zero, everyone is sure of future rise in interest rates and decline in bond prices, as interest rates have inverse relationship with bond prices. Hence public would not want to hold any bond, since money, which also pays zero percent interest, has the advantage of being usable in transactions. Since everyone wants to hold on to their wealth in the form of money, speculative demand for money is infinite.

When the prevailing interest rates are very high
|
Demand for bonds increases
|
Demand for bonds decreases
|
There is no effect on demand for bond
|
Demand for bonds increases
|
Option a is correct. When interest rates are high people expect it to only go down in the future. Since interest rates have an inverse relationship with bond prices, people expect bond prices to rise in future. Thus demand for bond increses. As bond prices are expected to rise, people want to invest all their money in bonds rather than keeping in cash (speculative form). Hence demand for speculative money is low. Hence Statement 2 is incorrect.

Statement 1 is correct. An intermediate good is a product used to produce a final good or finished product—also referred to as a consumer good.Intermediate goods are sold between industries for resale or the production of other goods. These goods are also called semi-finished products because they are used as inputs to become part of the finished product. Eg salt when used for commercial value as input in a recipe to sell it in a restaurant is an intermediate good whereas when used for personal consumption it is a final good. Statement 2 is correct. Long lasting consumer goods are called durable ones. Domestic vehicles such as car and scooter are such goods. However trucks and buses are considered as capital goods. Statement 3 is correct. Capital goods are those which are used to produce other goods and services. Boat used to transport goods across water is one such item. Statement 4 is correct. Shoes and other clothing are non-durable consumer goods as they last a limited period of time.

Statement (a) is correct because when interest rates are higher in India investors from other countries will buy bonds from India. For this they will need more rupees. Thus demand for rupee will rise in comparison to the other currency. Hence there will be appreciation in the rupee.

The ratio of total additional planned savings in an economy to the total additional income of the economy is known as:
|
Marginal propensity to consume (MPC)

Savings rate
|
Marginal propensity to save (MPS)
|
Marginal propensity to consume (MPC)
|
Marginal propensity to save (mps) is a fraction which gives an idea of what proportion of the total additional income of the economy people wish to save as a whole. It gives us the ratio of total additional planned savings in an economy to the total additional income of the economy). Subtracting the mps from 1, we get the marginal propensity to consume (mpc), which, in a similar way, is the fraction of total additional income that people use for consumption.

When a government spends more than it collects by way of revenue, it incurs a budget deficit. 1 is incorrect. Decrease in taxes decreases the revenue base of the government. So it would increase its deficit further rather than decreasing it. 2 is incorrect. By increasing expenditure on subsidies and welfare schemes government will have to spend more money out of its budget which will increase the deficit and not reduce it. 3 is correct. The implementation of GST will rationalize the tax structure and increase the tax revenue of the government. So, this will decrease the deficit.

Consider the following about automatic stabilizers
1. The proportional income tax is considered as an automatic stabilizer as it makes disposable income, and thus consumer spending, less sensitive to fluctuations in GDP.
2. When an economy is in a recession, automatic stabilizers may result in higher budget deficits.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Automatic stabilizers are economic policies and programs designed to offset fluctuations in a nation's economic activity without intervention by the government or policymakers on an individual basis. The best-known automatic stabilizers are corporate and personal taxes, and transfer systems such as umemployment insurance and welfare.
The proportional income tax acts as an automatic stabiliser – a shock absorber as it makes disposable income, and thus consumer spending, less sensitive to fluctuations in GDP. For example, as an individual taxpayer earns higher wages, his additional income may be subjected to higher tax rates based on the current structure. If wages fall, the individual will remain in the lower tax tiers as dictated by his earned income.
When an economy is in a recession, automatic stabilizers may result in higher budget deficits. This can be due to the higher level of benefit payouts being used to support individuals or businesses in the economy, such as unemployment insurance or tax breaks, as well as the fall in the total amount of revenue being received, such as from declines in income tax payments based on individuals becoming unemployed.

Consider the following statements with regard to proportional taxation: The rate of taxation does not change as the taxable amount increases or decreases. It makes consumer spending less sensitive to fluctuations in GDP. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
|
1 only

Both 1 and 2

Statement 1 is correct. A proportional tax is a tax in which the rate of taxation is fixed which does not change as the taxable amount increases or decreases. This type of tax increases with increase in income. While a regressive tax is a tax imposed in such a manner that the tax rate decreases as the amount subject to taxation increases. Statement 2 is correct. The proportional income tax acts as an automatic stabiliser - a shock absorber because it makes disposable income, and thus consumer spending, less sensitive to fluctuations in GDP. When GDP rises, disposable income also rises but by less than the rise in GDP because a part of it is siphoned off as taxes. This helps limit the upward fluctuation in consumption spending. During a recession when GDP falls, disposable income falls less sharply, and consumption does not drop as much as it otherwise would have fallen had the tax liability been fixed. This reduces the fall in aggregate demand and stabilises the economy.

Both the statements are correct. A private good is a product that must be purchased to be consumed, and its consumption by one individual prevents another individual from consuming it. The private goods are referred to as rivalrous and excludable. Public goods, as distinct from private goods, are collectively consumed. Two important features of public goods are: they are non-rivalrous in that one person can increase her satisfaction from the good without reducing that obtained by others and they are non-excludable, and there is no feasible way of excluding anyone from enjoying the benefits of the good. These make it difficult to collect fees for their use and private enterprise will in general not provide these goods. Hence, they must be provided by the government.

Consider the following statements with reference to Nawab Safdar Jang of Awadh: 1. He was the founder of the autonomous kingdom of Awadh. 2. He was constantly at struggle with the Maratha sardars and the Rajput chieftains. 3. He led an extravagant and luxurious life leading to deterioration in state finances.

The founder of the autonomous kingdom of Awadh was Saadat Khan Burhan-ul-Mulk who was appointed Governor of Awadh in 1722. Before his death in 1739, he had become virtually independent and had made the province a hereditary possession. He was succeeded by his nephew Safdar Jang, who was simultaneously appointed the wazir of the empire in 1748 and granted in addition the province of Allahabad. Safdar Jang gave a long period of peace to the people of Awadh and Allahabad before his death in 1754. He suppressed rebellious zamindars, won over others and made an alliance with the Maratha sardars so that his dominion was saved from their incursions. He was able to win the loyalty of Rajput chieftains and shaifyizadas . He carried on warfare against the Rohelas and the Bangash Pathans. In his war against the Bangash Pathans in 1750-51, he secured Maratha military help by paying a daily allowance of Rs 25,000 and Jat support by paying Rs 15,000 a day. Later, he entered into an agreement with the Peshwa by which the Peshwa was to help the Mughal empire against Ahmad Shah Abdali and to protect it from such internal rebels as the Indian Pathans and the Rajput rajas . In return the Peshwa was to be paid Rs 50 lakhs, granted the chauth of the Punjab, Sindh, and several districts of northern India, and made the Governor of Ajmer and Agra. The agreement failed, however, as the Peshwa went over to Safdar Jang’s enemies at Delhi who promised him the governorship of Awadh and Allahabad. Safdar Jang also organised an equitable system of justice. He too adopted a policy of impartiality in the employment of Hindus and Muslims. The highest post in his government was held by a Hindu, Maharaja Nawab Rai. The prolonged period of peace and of economic prosperity of the nobles under the government of the Nawabs resulted in time in the growth of a distinct Lucknow culture around the Awadh court. Lucknow, for long an important city of Awadh, and the seat of the Awadh Nawabs after 1775, soon rivalled Delhi in its patronage of the arts and literature. It also developed as an important centre of handicrafts. Crafts and culture also percolated to towns under the patronage of local chieftains and zamindars. Safdar Jang maintained a very high standard of personal moralit y. All his life he was devoted to his only wife. As a matter of fact all the founders of the three autonomous kingdoms of Hyderabad, Bengal and Awadh, namely Nizam-ul-Mulk, Murshid Quli Khan and Alivardi Khan, and Saadat Khan and Safdar Jang, were men of high personal morality. Nearly all of them l ed austere and simple lives . Their lives give lie to the belief that all the leading nobles of the eighteenth century led extravagant and luxurious lives. It was only in their public and political dealings that they resorted to fraud, intrigue and treachery. Hence, all the given statements are not correct .
