Introducing yet another ingenious course, InsightsIAS is excited to announce our new initiative QUED – Questions from Editorials. Considering the number of questions that appeared from Editorials in previous year UPSC Prelims Examinations, we feel it is wise for students to cover Editorials from Prelims point of view as well in order to achieve that extra edge. Although, we have covered important editorials separately in our Editorial Section as well as under Secure Initiative, MCQ practice can prove to be crucial for better performance and guaranteed result.
We strongly recommend you at add QUED along with Static Quiz ,Current Affairs Quiz and RTM for your Daily MCQ practice.
We will be posting 5 MCQs at 11am everyday from Monday to Saturday on http://www.insightsonindia.com. QUED will be available under QUIZ menu.
We hope students utilize this initiative to the best of advantage. 🙂

Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Consider the following statements.
- When an economy goes through a phase of high inflation, there are chances that the unemployment rate will fall.
- High inflation can lower the purchasing power of the consumer.
- The RBI monetary policy has a direct impact on controlling “cost-push” inflation.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Solution: a)
There is a trade-off between inflation and unemployment. Typically, when an economy goes through a phase of high inflation, chances are that the unemployment rate will fall. That’s because firms, enticed by higher prices, try to ramp up production by recruiting more people.
High inflation may be robbing people of their purchasing power.
It is also important to understand that monetary policy does not have a direct solution to controlling such “cost-push” inflation. It cannot make fuel prices lower by raising interest rates. All it can do is to control demand in the economy.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
Consider the following statements.
- Humans lose heat generated within their body by producing sweat that evaporates on the skin.
- Dehydration can lead to decreased sweat production.
- Humidity in the environment makes it conducive to regulate body temperature.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Solution: b)
Humans lose heat generated within their body by producing sweat that evaporates on the skin. The cooling effect of this evaporation is essential in maintaining a stable body temperature. As humidity rises, sweat does not evaporate —just like clothes take a long time to dry in humid locations – and makes it difficult to regulate body temperature. This is why we feel more discomfort in humid places.
Dehydration can lead to decreased sweat production and therefore increased vulnerability to heat stroke during heatwaves.
