Q:

Which of the following will be the outcome if an economy is under the inflationary pressure?

1.Domestic currency heads for depreciation.

2.Exports become less competitive with imports getting costlier.

3.Cost of borrowing decreases.4.Bondholders get benefitted.

 

Select the correct answer using the code given below.

 

A) 1 and 2 B) 2 and 3
C) 1 and 3 only D) 1, 3 and 4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 1 and 3 only

Explanation:

Creditors and debtors:

During inflation creditors lose because they receive in effect less in goods and services than if they had received the repayments during a period of low prices. Debtors, on other hand, as a group gain during inflation, since they repay their debts in currency that has lost its value.The aggregate volume of internal trade tends to increase during inflation due to higher incomes, greater production and larger spending. But the export trade is likely to suffer on account of arise in the prices of domestic goods.

The same currency unit will now buy less goods and services.But the bondholders lose as they get a fixed interest the real value of which has already fallen.

Q:

Brightness of bulb depends on voltage or current?

A) Current B) Voltage
C) Both A & B D) None
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Both A & B

Explanation:

Brightness of bulb depends on both voltage and current. The brightness depends on power.

Since we know that  Power (P) = Voltage x Current = V I

So whether you increase the current or the voltage the brightness will increase.

 

Example Illustration:

 If you connect a long bulb and a round bulb in series, the long bulb glows but the round bulb does not. Both of them have the same current flowing through them (they are in series) but the long bulb has a greater voltage across it because it has more resistance (even though V= IR is not obeyed exactly, voltage drop does depend on the resistance). If you connect a round bulb and a long bulb in parallel, however, it is the round bulb that is brighter because now the voltage across both bulbs is the same but the current is larger through the round bulb (smaller resistance).

 

Hence, the brightness of a bulb depends on power i.e, both voltage and current.
