Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Consider the following statements.
- Inflation is closely related to interest rates, which can influence exchange rates.
- Low interest rates spur consumer spending and economic growth.
- Low interest rates most commonly attract foreign investment.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Solution: b)
Inflation is closely related to interest rates, which can influence exchange rates. Countries attempt to balance interest rates and inflation, but the interrelationship between the two is complex and often difficult to manage. Low interest rates spur consumer spending and economic growth, and generally positive influences on currency value. If consumer spending increases to the point where demand exceeds supply, inflation may ensue, which is not necessarily a bad outcome. But low interest rates do not commonly attract foreign investment. Higher interest rates tend to attract foreign investment, which is likely to increase the demand for a country’s currency.

Select the correct answer code:

The Constitution lays down only two qualifications for the appointment of a person as a governor.
These are:
- He should be a citizen of India.
- He should have completed the age of 35 years.
Additionally, two conventions have also developed in this regard over the years.
- First, he should be an outsider, that is, he should not belong to the state where he is appointed, so that he is free from the local politics.
- Second, while appointing the governor, the president is required to consult the chief minister of the state concerned, so that the smooth functioning of the constitutional machinery in the state is ensured.
However, both the conventions have been violated in some of the cases.
