Question 1 of 20
1. Question
1 pointsWhen the constitution was finalised panchayats did not find a mention in it in compulsory provisions. Which of the following can be cited as the most appropriate reason among the following?
Correct
Solution: a)
When the constitution was being drafted panchayats did not find a mention in it. At this juncture, a number of members expressed their sorrow, anger and disappointment over this issue. At the same time, drawing on his own rural experience Dr. Ambedkar argued that local elites and upper castes were so well entrenched in society that local self-government only meant a continuing exploitation of the downtrodden masses of Indian society. The upper castes would no doubt silence this segment of the population further.
The concept of local government was dear to Gandhiji too. He envisaged each village as a self-sufficient unit conducting its own affairs and saw gram-swarajya to be an ideal model to be continued after independence.Incorrect

Question 2 of 20
2. Question
1 pointsIf there is no current account deficit (CAD) and fiscal deficit in an economy, then ideally
Correct
Solution: a)
The basic equation representing the economy is:
I + G + X – M ≡ S + T
In other words(I – S) + (G – T) ≡ M – X (2.8)
In the equation, G – T measures by what amount the government expenditure exceeds the tax revenue earned by it. This is referred to as budget deficit. M – X is known as the trade deficit – it measures the excess of import expenditure over the export revenue earned by the economy (M is the outflow from the country, X is the inflow into the country).
If there is no government, no foreign trade then G = T = M = X = 0.
Hence the equation yields I ≡ S, which means investments equal to savings.Incorrect

Question 5 of 20
5. Question
1 pointsThe Indian Constitution has ensured the independence of the judiciary through a number of measures. Which of the following are these measures provided in the Constitution?
1. The Executive is not involved in the process of appointment of judges.
2. The judges have a fixed tenure.
3. The expenses of the judiciary are charged on the Consolidated Fund of India.
4. The Supreme court and the High Court can punish any person for its contempt5. A judge of Supreme court can only be removed by a special majority of the Parliament.
Select the correct code.Correct
Solution (c)
The legislature is not involved in the process of appointment of judges. Thus, it was believed that party politics would not play a role in the process of appointments. But the judges of the Supreme Court and High Court are appointed by the President in consultation with the members of the Judiciary. It should also be noted that while in making appointments, the executive plays a crucial role; the legislature has the powers of removal. Hence the first statement is wrong.
In order to be appointed as a judge, a person must have experience as a lawyer and/or must be well versed in law. Political opinions of the person or his/her political loyalty should not be the criteria for appointments to judiciary.
The judges have a fixed tenure. They hold office till reaching the age of retirement. Only in exceptional cases, judges may be removed. But otherwise, they have security of tenure. Security of tenure ensures that judges could function without fear or favour.
The Constitution prescribes a very difficult procedure (special majority is required) for removal of judges. The removal of judges of the Supreme Court and the High Courts is also extremely difficult. A judge of the Supreme Court or High Court can be removed only on the ground of proven misbehaviour or incapacity. A motion containing the charges against the judge must be approved by special majority in both Houses of the Parliament.
The Constitution makers believed that a difficult procedure of removal would provide security of office to the members of judiciary.
The judiciary is not financially dependent on either the executive or legislature. The Constitution provides that the salaries and allowances of the judges are not subjected to the approval of the legislature.The actions and decisions of the judges are immune from personal criticisms. The judiciary has the power to penalise those who are found guilty of contempt of court. This authority of the court is seen as an effective protection to the judges from unfair criticism. Parliament cannot discuss the conduct of the judges except when the proceeding toremove a judge is being carried out. This gives the judiciary independence to adjudicate without fear of being criticised.

The other method is more difficult: it requires special majority of the Parliament and consent of half of the State legislatures. Note that all amendments to the Constitution are initiated only in the Parliament. Besides the special majority in the Parliament no outside agency—like a constitution commission or a separate body—is required for amending the Constitution.
Similarly, after the passage in the Parliament and in some cases, in State legislatures, no referendum is required for ratification of the amendment.

Question 12 of 20
12. Question
1 pointsWhat are the implications of China being granted “Market Economy Status”?
- India will be bound under WTO rules to negotiate and sign a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with China.
- It will severely curb India’s ability to impose anti-dumping duties on unfairly priced Chinese imports.
Which of the above is/are correct?
Correct
Solution: b
Under WTO norms, once a country gets MES status, exports from it are to be accepted at the production costs and selling price as the benchmark. Prior to this status, country is considered as a Non Market Economy (NME).
Market Economy Status will mean lesser chances of anti-dumping duties being imposed or lesser anti-dumping duties even if they are imposed. This is because a market economy does not exploit the monopoly of the state to unreasonably lower the prices of goods to make them competitive abroad.Statement 1: There is no such compulsion. WTO operates on multilateral basis. No nation is forced to sign FTAs or treaties with other nations. So, 1 is wrong.
Statement 2:The WTO-member countries had decided to deem China as a ‘market economy’ in anti-dumping cases from December 2016.
As per the 2001 agreement (before this one), to calculate the ‘normal value’ of exported goods while adjudicating anti-dumping cases, the WTO member nations could ignore the selling price and production costs in China. India is not inclined to automatically grant the coveted ‘Market Economy Status’ (MES) to China under World Trade Organisation (WTO) norms in December 2016. The main reason India is reluctant to grant MES to China is that it will severely curb India’s ability to impose anti-dumping duties on “unfairly priced” Chinese imports.Incorrect
