Read the passage and answer the question. Central banks face a classic trade-off when inflation and unemployment move in opposite directions. Raising interest rates may cool prices but can also slow hiring, while cutting rates may support jobs but risks letting inflation become entrenched. Credibility matters because if people believe the central bank will act decisively, their inflation expectations stay anchored and smaller policy moves are needed. According to the passage, why is credibility valuable to a central bank?
- It removes the trade-off between inflation and unemployment
- It allows the bank to keep interest rates unchanged permanently
- Anchored expectations let it achieve its goals with smaller policy moves
- It guarantees that unemployment falls whenever rates rise
Show answer & explanation
Answer: C. Anchored expectations let it achieve its goals with smaller policy moves
The last sentence links credibility to anchored expectations and smaller policy moves; the trade-off itself is not removed.
What approximate value should come in place of the question mark (?) (3.98)³ + 21.03% of 799.95 − √2024 = ?
- 177
- 187
- 197

Eight persons A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H live on eight different floors of a building numbered 1 (lowest) to 8 (top). • D lives on an odd-numbered floor above floor 3. • Exactly two persons live between D and C. • A lives on an even-numbered floor below D. • G lives immediately above C. • E lives below C. • Exactly four persons live between E and H. • B lives immediately above H. Who lives on floor 3?
- A
- C
- G
- E
Show answer & explanation
Answer: C. G
D = 5 or 7. If D = 7, then C = 4, G = 5 and E (floor 1–3) puts H on 6, 7 or 8, but B must be immediately above H on a free floor — impossible. So D = 5, C = 2, G = 3, E = 1, H = 6, B = 7, A = 4, F = 8.
Under the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR), a scheduled bank must keep a specified share of its net demand and time liabilities in which form?
- As a cash balance with the RBI
- As gold in its own vaults
- As government securities in its own portfolio
- As deposits with other commercial banks
Show answer & explanation
Answer: A. As a cash balance with the RBI
CRR is maintained as cash balances with the RBI; liquid assets held by the bank itself count towards SLR, not CRR.
