The part of National Income which is received by households is called as Personal Income. Personal Income (PI) = National Income (NI) - Undistributed profits - Net interest payments made by households - Corporate tax + Transfer payments to the households from the government and firms. Out of NI, which is earned by the firms and government enterprises, a part of profit is not distributed among the factors of production. This is called Undistributed Profits( UP). We have to deduct UP from NI to arrive at PI, since UP does not accrue to the households. Corporate Tax, which is imposed on the earnings made by the firms, will also have to be deducted from the NI, since it does not accrue to the households. The households do receive interest payments from private firms or the government on past loans advanced by them. And households may have to pay interests to the firms and the government as well, in case they had borrowed money from either. So we have to deduct the net interests paid by the households to the firms and government. The households receive transfer payments from government and firms (pensions, scholarship, prizes, for example) which have to be added to calculate the Personal Income of the households.

Statement 1 is Correct. National Disposable Income = Net National Product at market prices + Other current transfers from the rest of the world. The idea behind National Disposable Income is that it gives an idea of what is the maximum amount of goods and services the domestic economy has at its disposal. Current transfers from the rest of the world include items such as gifts, aids, etc. Statement 2 is Correct. GDP deflator is the ratio of Nominal GDP to Real GDP. It gives us an idea of how the prices have moved from the base year (the year whose prices are being used to calculate the real GDP) to the current year. Statement 3 is Correct. Tax Expenditures, as the word might indicate, does not relate to the expenditures incurred by the Government in the collection of taxes. Rather it refers to the opportunity cost of taxing at concessional rates, or the opportunity cost of giving exemptions, deductions, rebates, deferrals credits etc. to the tax payers. Tax expenditures indicate how much more revenue could have been collected by the Government if not for such measures. In other words, it shows the extent of indirect subsidy enjoyed by the tax payers in the country.

The currency deposit ratio (CDR) is the ratio of money held by the public in currency to that they hold in bank deposits. CDR = CU/DD, where CU is currency (notes plus coins) held by public and DD is net demand deposits held by commercial banks. The word 'net' implies that only deposits of the public held by the banks are to be included in the money supply. The inter bank deposits, which a commercial banks holds in other commercial banks, are not to be regarded as part of money supply. CDR reflects people's preference for liquidity. It is a purely behavioral parameter which depends, among other things, on the seasonal pattern of expenditure. CDR increases during the festive season as people convert deposits to cash balance for meeting extra expenditure during such periods.

Statement 1 is not correct. Cash Reserve Ratio refers to the fraction of the total Net Demand and Time Liabilities (NDTL) of a Scheduled Commercial Bank held in India, that it has to maintain as cash deposit with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Statement 2 is not correct. The Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR) is a prudential measure under which (as per the Banking Regulations Act 1949) all Scheduled Commercial Banks in India must maintain an amount in one of the following forms as a percentage of their total Demand and Time Liabilities (DTL) / Net DTL (NDTL); [i] Cash [ii] Gold; or [iii] Investments in un-encumbered Instruments that include: (a) Treasury-Bills of the Government of India. (b) Dated securities including those issued by the Government of India from time to time under the market borrowings programme and the Market Stabilization Scheme (MSS). (c) State Development Loans (SDLs) issued by State Governments under their market borrowings programme. (d) Other instruments as notified by the RBI. In contrast to the CRR, under which banks have to maintain cash with the RBI, the SLR requires holding of assets in one of the above three categories by the bank itself. Statement 3 is not correct. Liquidity adjustment facility (LAF) is a monetary policy tool which allows banks to borrow money through repurchase agreements or repos. LAF is used to aid banks in adjusting the day to day mismatches in liquidity (frictional liquidity deficit/surplus). Both SLR and CRR are not part of Liquidity adjustment facility.

Quo-Waranto In the literal sense, it means ‘by what authority or warrant’. It is issued by the court to enquire into the legality of claim of a person to a public office. Hence, it prevents illegal usurpation of public office by a person. Hence statement 1 is correct. The writ can be issued only in case of a substantive public office of a permanent character created by a statute or by the Constitution. It cannot be issued in cases of ministerial office or private office. Hence statement 2 is correct. Unlike the other four writs, this can be sought by any interested person and not necessarily by the aggrieved person. Hence statement 3 is correct. Hence option (d) is the correct answer.

Pietra dura in Indo-Islamic architecture is a term for the inlay technique of using cut and fitted, highly polished, and semi-precious coloured stones to create images. It is a type of decorative art employed widely in the Mughal era. Itmad-ud-Daula Tomb was commissioned by Nur Jahan, the wife of Jahangir, for her father Mirza Ghiyas Beg. It belongs to the domeless class of the Mughal sepulchral architecture and introduces a whole range of innovations such as adjoined towers and profuse and elaborate decorative techniques unseen in Islamic India at that time. The tomb is famous for the glorious pietra dura (stone inlay) decoration depicting cypresses, wine glasses, and an amazing variety of geometrical arabesque. Humayun's tomb is the tomb of the Mughal Emperor Humayun. It was built in 1570. It was the first garden tomb on the Indian subcontinent. This is considered as the Jewel of Mughal architecture for its intense pietra dura inlay work. Pietra dura inlay patterns can be observed over the entrance iwan, the chhatris, small minarets of the Tomb. Taj Mahal was built in Agra between 1631 and 1648 by order of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal. The Taj Mahal is considered to be the greatest architectural achievement in the whole range of Indo-Islamic architecture. Ustad-Ahmad Lahori was the main architect of the Taj Mahal. Numerous floral and geometric patterns of pietra dura work can be observed in the Taj Mahal. Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.

The main reason for the launch of Khilafat movement was to:
|
Demand for greater political representation of Muslims in the legislature and executive.
|
Agitate against the discrimination being meted out to the Indian Muslims.
|
Protest against the treatment meted out to the Ottoman Empire by Britain.
|
Demand for greater political representation of Muslims in the legislature and executive.
|
The background to the Khilafat movement was provided by a series of events after the First World War. The Treaty of Sevres with Turkey, signed in May 1920, completely dismembered Turkey and sanctions imposed upon the Caliphate, who was considered as supreme leader of muslims all over the world. Indian Muslims were critical of the treatment meted out to Turkey (Ottoman Empire) under Treaty of Sevres. Khilafat movement was launched to influence British in its treatment of the Ottoman Empire post World War 1. Mohammad Ali and his brother Maulana Shaukat Ali joined with other Muslim leaders to form the All India Khilafat Committe e which called upon the British to protect the Caliphate and for Indian Muslims to unite and hold the British accountable for this purpose. Khilfat Leaders and Indian national congress launched Khilafat movement to influence Britishers in its treatment of the Ottoman Empire post World War 1 and pursue the goals of Indian National movement as well. Hence option (c) is the correct answer.

Statement 1 is not correct: Newspapers in those days were not business enterprises, nor were the editors and journalists professionals. Newspapers were published as a national or public service. They were often financed as objects of philanthropy. To be a journalist was often to be a political worker and an agitator at considerable self-sacrifice. It was, of course, not very expensive to start a newspaper, though the editor had to usually live at a semi-starvation level or earn his livelihood through a supplementary source. Statement 2 is correct: The influence of the press extended far beyond its literate subscribers. Nor was it confined to cities and large towns. A newspaper would reach remote villages and would then be read by a reader to tens of others. Gradually library movements sprung up all over the country. A local 'library' would be organized around a single newspaper. A table, a bench or two or a charpoy would constitute the capital equipment. Every piece of news or editorial comment would be read or heard and thoroughly discussed. The newspaper not only became the political educator; reading or discussing it became a form of political participation. Statement 3 is correct: Nearly all the major political controversies of the day were conducted through the press. It also played the institutional role of opposition to the government. Almost every act and every policy of the government was subjected to sharp criticism, in many cases with great care and vast learning backing it up. 'Oppose, oppose, oppose' was the motto of the Indian Press.

During the moderate phase of the struggle (1894-1906) Gandhiji set up the Natal Indian Congress . The second phase of the struggle in South Africa, which began in 1906, was characterized by the use of the method of passive resistance or civil disobedience, which Gandhiji named Satyagraha. It was first used when the Government enacted legislation making it compulsory for Indians to take out certificates of registration which held their fingerprints. The campaign was widened to include a protest against new legislation imposing restrictions on Indian migration. The poll tax of three pounds imposed on ex- indentured Indians and invalidation of Indian marriages further widened the campaign.

The 1907 Surat session of Indian National Congress is significant in the history of the freedom movement, because:
|
Congress accepted separate electorate for Muslims.
|
Congress split into moderate and extremist groups.
|
Swadeshi movement was launched.
|
Congress accepted separate electorate for Muslims.
|
Moderates believed in the policy of settlement of minor issues with the government by deliberations. But the extremists believed in agitation, strikes, and boycotts. Nationalists led by Lokmanya Tilak agitated against the Moderates. The conflict between these two sections became visible at the end of Congress' Banaras Session (1905). The difference between moderates and extremists widened in Congress' Calcutta Session of (1906) and attempts were made to select one of them as the president. The moderates opposed the resolutions on Swaraj, Swadeshi, Boycott of foreign goods, and National Education and requested to withdraw from the policy laid down in the Calcutta session. But the extremists were not ready to do so. In 1907, Surat Session, the two main objectives placed by the extremists were: Demand for the resolution of Swaraj Lala Lajpat Rai to be made the President of the INC These two demands were not acceptable to the moderates. Thus, instead of Lala Lajpat Rai, the moderates supported the idea of Rash Behari Ghosh as the President. The moderate leaders have captured the machinery of the congress excluded the militant extremist elements from it. The congress split into two separate groups of moderates and extremists. Hence option (b) is the correct answer.

A major aspect of nationalist strategy during 1920s till 1947 was the long-drawn out character of the hegemonic struggle. Under this strategy, which may be described as Struggle-Truce-Struggle or S-T-S' , a phase of vigorous extra-legal mass movement and open confrontation with colonial authority was followed by a phase during which direct confrontation was withdrawn, and political concessions, if any, wrested from the colonial regime were worked and shown to be inadequate. During this latter, more 'passive', phase, intense political and ideological work was carried on among the masses within the existing legal and constitutional framework, and forces were gathered for another mass movement at a higher level. The culmination of this strategy of S-T-S' came with a call for 'Quit India' and the achievement of independence

Statement 1 is incorrect. Employment elasticity of growth is percentage change in employment of labour force in response to percentage change in economic growth i.e. ratio of growth rate of employment to growth rate of GDP. Statement 2 is correct. The importance of the concept of employment elasticity of growth lies in the fact that it determines the employment capabilities of an economy. Additional labour force can be suitably employed only when employment elasticity of growth is high. If the employment elasticity of growth is less, then some of the labour force remains employed. Statement 3 is correct. The employment elasticity in India in the last decade declined from 0.44 in the first half of the decade 1999–2000 to 2004–05, to as low as 0.01 during second half of the decade 2004–05 to 2009–10. The similar trends have been witnessed at the sectoral level, namely agriculture, service, and manufacturing sectors. In agriculture and manufacturing employment elasticity in the latter half of the decade has been negative.

All the given factors are responsible for informalisation of labour. Pressure to cut costs: Competition requires that each producer should produce at minimum possible cost of production. In pursuit of lower cost of production, producers opt for improved technology. This technology provides for increasing substitution of labour for capital. Therefore, employers prefer to employ casual labour so that they can be retrenched at will. Rigid labour laws: labour laws do not permit retrenchment of labour. In the controlled protected economy of the past, the producers could afford extra labour and pass on the cost to the consumers. In the emerging competition this luxury is no longer available to them. Therefore, they do not like to employ regular workers. Demand-Supply Imbalance of labour force: That the employers could easily take resort to informalisation is also explained by obtaining demand-supply imbalance in the labour market. When supply of labour exceeds the demand for labour, informalisation increases. Need for upgradation of skills: Technology is undergoing a dramatic fast change. Every next round of technology demands more skills. It means that skill-base of workers has to be upgraded. This again cuts back the regular employment. No scope for hidden costs: A regular permanent employee gets not only his salary but also a number of other benefits accrue to him. These are hidden costs to the employer. Competition requires that costs should be transparent and hence the need to dispense with regular workers.

Other options are not correct because
Government asking RBI to print more money does not hamper it's autonomy
Creedit rating is related to ability to pay back the debt and hence not very relevant here
No money Bill is required for this and it it purely an executive decision

The aim behind these is to provide financial inclusion to sections of the economy not being served by other banks, such as small business units, small and marginal farmers, micro and small industries and unorganized sector entities. They can sell financial instruments like insurance, pensions, mutual funds etc. but only after prior approval of RBI. These banks are barred from taking any activity of commercial investments with high risks. Hence, they are not included in Universal banking system.

India is experiencing high inflationary pressure from the past decade. The inflationary pressure being experienced by India is both cyclical and structural in nature owing to complexities in demand and supply side constraints. For instance, structural problems accrues from poor forward and backward linkages like lack of proper storage facilities for food grains etc. Cyclical nature of business activities like boom, recession, recovery also creates inflationary pressure by reducing output and demands, particularly for a country like India which is dependent upon monsoon the consumption cycle is heavily dependent upon its strength to boost consumption. The increasing global commodity prices have increased the inflationary pressure in the last decade. Improper fiscal policies due to fulfillment of populist agenda like sharply higher price to farmers for their produce further exacerbated it.
