Government Budget
The Indian economy is on a strong wicket and stable footing, demonstrating resilience in the face of geopolitical challenges. The Indian economy has consolidated its post-Covid recovery with policymakers – fiscal and monetary – ensuring economic and financial stability. Nonetheless, change is the only constant for a country with high growth aspirations. For the recovery to be sustained, there has to be heavy lifting on the domestic front because the environment has become extraordinarily difficult to reach agreements on key global issues such as trade, investment and climate. The headline inflation rate is largely under control, although the inflation rate for some specific food items is elevated. The trade deficit was lower in FY24 than in FY23, and the current account deficit for the year is around 0.7% of GDP. In fact, the current account registered a surplus in the last quarter of the financial year. Foreign exchange reserves are ample. Public investment has sustained capital formation in the last several years even as the private sector shed its balance sheet blues and began investing in FY22. Now, it has to receive the baton from the public sector and sustain the investment momentum in the economy. The signs are encouraging. National income data show that non-financial private-sector capital formation, measured in current prices, expanded vigorously.

Read the given paragraph carefully and answer the following questions.
Total Product, Average Product and Marginal Product
The relationship between the variable input and output, keeping all other inputs constant, is often referred to as total product (TP) of the variable input. Average product (AP) is defined as the output per unit of variable input. Marginal product (MP) of an input is defined as the change in output per unit of change in the input when all other inputs are held constant. According to the law of variable proportions, the marginal product of an input initially rises and then, after a certain level of employment, it starts falling. As long as AP increases, it must be the case that MP is greater than AP. Otherwise, AP cannot rise. Similarly, when AP falls, MP has to be less than AP. It follows that MP curve cuts AP curve from above at its maximum.
The shape of the average product and marginal product curves are................... 1. Both Inverse 'U' Shaped 2. Both 'U' Shaped 3. AP 'U' Shaped and MP Inverse 'U' Shaped 4. MP 'U' Shaped and AP Inverse 'U' shaped

Read the given paragraph carefully and answer the following questions.
Total Product, Average Product and Marginal Product
The relationship between the variable input and output, keeping all other inputs constant, is often referred to as total product (TP) of the variable input. Average product (AP) is defined as the output per unit of variable input. Marginal product (MP) of an input is defined as the change in output per unit of change in the input when all other inputs are held constant. According to the law of variable proportions, the marginal product of an input initially rises and then, after a certain level of employment, it starts falling. As long as AP increases, it must be the case that MP is greater than AP. Otherwise, AP cannot rise. Similarly, when AP falls, MP has to be less than AP. It follows that MP curve cuts AP curve from above at its maximum.
The case where a marginal product is greater than the average product, where? 1. MP cut AP at Minimum 2. AP remains Constant 3. AP Decreases 4. AP Increases
