Q:

Consider the following statement :“So much is wrung from the peasants, that even dry bread is scarcely left to fill their stomachs.”

Who among the following European travellers had made the above statement about the condition of peasantry in the Mughal Empire?

A) Francisco Pelsaert B) Francois Bernier
C) Jean-Baptiste Tavemier D) Niccolao Manucci
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Francisco Pelsaert

Explanation:

But while the average Mughal farmer produced more than in later times, he most probably produced less than in earlier times. On the whole, the Mughal period was marked by agricultural stagnation, if not slump. The per capita yield was declining, and the average man in Mughal India probably had less to eat than before. 'The surplus income left to the peasant was tending to decrease, where it had not already vanished,' says Moreland. 'The provinces,' says Pelsaert, 'are so impoverished that a jagir which is reckoned to be worth 50,000 rupees, may sometimes not yield even 25,000, although so much is wrung from the peasants, that even dry bread is scarcely left to fill their stomachs.'

Q:

For a certain reaction,DGq = -45 kJ/mol and DHq= -90 kJ/mol at 0°C. What is the minimum temperature at which the reaction will become spontaneous, ifDHq and DSq are independent of temperature?

A) 273 K B) 298 K
C) 546 K D) 596 K
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 546 K

Explanation:

T = 273 °K

Using the formula,

DGq = DHq –TDS

-45 = -90 –273 DS

DS = 0.164

Now since DHq and DSq are independent,T2= DH/DS = 45/0.164 = 273°K

Required Temp = 273 + 273 = 546°K

Q:

A binding price floor causes

A) Excess demand for the goods B) Surplus supply of goods
C) Less supply of goods D) No demand for the goods
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Surplus supply of goods

Explanation:

A price floor is the minimum price that can be charged. A binding price floor occurs when the government sets a required price on goods at a price above equilibrium. Because the government requires that prices not drop below this price, that price binds the market for that good.

A binding price ceiling is one that is set below equilibrium price.
