Question 6 of 20
6. Question
1 pointsQ6. Consider the following statements fuel prices in India.
1. Taxes imposed by the Centre and states are a significant contributor to the price of petrol and diesel
that consumers pay in India.
2. The base price of the fuel is added with excise and cess levied by the Centre, VAT imposed by the states, and commission to the dealer.
3. The base price of the fuel includes only the cost of refinery processing and margins.
4. VAT on the fuel is imposed uniformly across all the states.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?Correct
Taxes imposed by the Centre and states are a significant contributor to the price of petrol and diesel that consumers pay. To the base price of the fuel (which includes the cost of refinery processing and margins, and oil marketing company margins and cost of freight etc) is added excise and cess levied by the Centre, VAT imposed by the states, and commission to the dealer. VAT varies from state to state, which accounts for the fact that fuel is more expensive in some states than in others. Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Andhra Pradesh impose the heaviest VAT burdens among all states in the country.

Question 7 of 20
7. Question
1 pointsQ7. Consider the following statements regarding India’s tax system.
1. In the last 10 years, India’s Indirect tax-to-GDP ratio is lower that direct tax-to-GDP.
2. The average share of direct tax in OECD countries is greater than that in India.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?Correct
India’s tax system is regressive with heavy dependence on indirect tax. This would be clear by mapping the gross tax revenue (of both centre and states)- as reproduced below. Indirect-tax-to-GDP ratio remains consistently higher than that of direct tax-to-GDP (2011-12 series, current prices). In the OECD countries, the average share of direct tax is about two-third of the total tax, while it is a little over one-third in India.

Question 8 of 20
8. Question
1 pointsQ8. Consider the following statements.
1. Printing more money will always lead to Inflation.
2. Evidence shows that, in India, higher GDP growth causes the ratio of debt-to-GDP to decline.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?Correct
Printing more money does not necessarily lead to inflation and a debasement of the currency. In fact, if the increased money supply creates a disproportionate increase in output because the money is invested to finance investment projects with positive net present value (where such value incorporates all the societal value generated by the investment), the increased money supply is beneficial to the citizens. Evidence over the last two-and-a-half decades demonstrates clearly that in India, higher GDP growth causes the ratio of debt-to-GDP to decline but not vice-versa.

Change included caracal in the list of critically endangered species.
2. It is native to only Indian sub-continent.
3. There are evidences of the caracal from a fossil dating back to the Indus Valley civilisation.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?Correct
The National Board for Wildlife and Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change last month included the caracal, a medium-sized wildcat found in parts of Rajasthan and Gujarat, in the list of critically endangered species. Though not under grave threat in its other habitats, the animal is on the verge of extinction
in India, some experts believe.Besides India, the caracal is found in several dozen countries across Africa, the Middle East, Central and South Asia. While it flourishes in parts of Africa, its numbers in Asia are declining.
The earliest evidence of the caracal in the subcontinent comes from a fossil dating back to the civilisation of the Indus Valley c. 3000-2000 BC, according to a reference in ‘Historical and current extent of occurrence of the Caracal in India’, one of the few published studies on the animal.

2. The location shoukd static only like the location of a road.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?Correct
The Ministry of Science and Technology released new guidelines for the Geo-spatial sector in India, which deregulates existing protocol and liberalises the sector to a more competitive field. Geospatial data is data about objects, events, or phenomena that have a location on the surface of the earth. The location may be static in the short-term, like the location of a road, an earthquake event, malnutrition among children, or dynamic like a moving vehicle or pedestrian, the spread of an infectious disease.
Geospatial data combines location information, attribute information (the characteristics of the object, event, or phenomena concerned), and often also temporal information or the time at which the location and attributes exist. Geospatial data usually involves information of public interest such as roads, localities, rail lines, water bodies, and public amenities. The past decade has seen an increase in the use of geo-spatial data in daily life with various apps
such as food delivery apps like Swiggy or Zomato, e-commerce like Amazon or even weather apps.Incorrect
