Road Ahead Economy for Prelims GS
- With nearly 30 MCQs- the Economy segment has reached / will soon reach its peak. Then, its fall should commence- just like environment- it may fall back to 20-ish region.
- May be 3-4 years down the line, economy may end up like science tech- below 10 MCQ range. Who knows!? The only way to fight uncertainty, is to prepare all subjects diligently.
- Since good number of questions, can be directly solved from the BES16 series, ipso facto good number of questions came from ‘economic survey’ and allied topics. Therefore, you should keep habit of following the survey and doing backend self-study on allied topics/terms mentioned in the survey.
- For economy, no secret/expensive coaching material required. While my videos and PowerPoints are good as base material for economy. But after they’re published, you’ve to keep updating them with Hindu/Indianexpress. (Atleast for Economy, Indian express also works just fine).
- In Banking-Finance, international economy- new developments keep happening. Similarly, in Modi Government – they announce scheme with catchy abbreviation first, and later on design its salient features, cost sharing and jurisdiction. So, you’ve to update the PowerPoints/notes- to keep the same material relevant for mains, interview and next prelims.
- To an extent, some of the MCQs- may seem “pro-senior player” e.g. BEPS, RCEP, New development banks, net metering, Gadgil-Kasturirangan, Ganga authority, OPCW, Belt-road initiative, Bitcoin etc. terms that have been making rounds since last 1.5-2 years esp. in the mains exam.
- But all in all, such MCQs were either too tough for everyone, (or too easy through elimination/guestimation)- thereby, not creating heavy favour to any group of serious aspirants. Besides, we can’t expect UPSC to give 100% soft-glove treatment to anyone. It is meant to be a cruel, competitive, unpredictable exam.
Anyways, here comes the stupid Answerkey:
Pillar#1: Banking-Finance Answerkey
18. What is/are the purpose/purposes of the `Marginal Cost of Funds based Lending Rate (MCLR)’ announced by RBI?
1. These guidelines help improve the transparency in the methodology followed by banks for determining the interest rates on advances.
2. These guidelines help ensure availability of bank credit at interest rates which are fair to the borrowers as well as the banks.
Select the correct answer using the code given below.
(a) 1 only
(b) 2 only
(c) Both 1 and 2
(d) Neither 1 nor 2
Both right. Verbatim lifted from RBI’s press statement first paragraph. More details on MCLR mechanism available under Mrunal’s lecture BES161/P8
79. The establishment of ‘Payment Banks’ is being allowed in India to promote financial inclusion. Which of the following statements is/are correct in this context?
1. Mobile telephone companies and supermarket chains that are owned and controlled by residents are eligible to be promoters of Payment Banks.
2. Payment Banks can issue both credit cards and debit cards.
3. Payment Banks cannot undertake lending activities.
Select the correct answer using the code given below.
(a) 1 and 2 only
(b) 1 and 3 only
(c) 2 only
(d) 1, 2 and 3
Verbatim covered in Mrunal’s lecture BES161/P10.
Mobile phone companies and supermarket walla eligible. But, Payment banks can’t issue credit card or give loans. Go by eliminating all options with “2”, and you’re left with (B) 1 and 3 only.
4. The term ‘Core Banking Solutions’ is sometimes seen in the news. Which of the following statements best describes/describe this term?
1. It is a networking of a bank’s branches which enables customers to operate their accounts from any branch of the bank on its network regardless of where they open their accounts.
2. It is an effort to increase RBI’s control over commercial banks through computerization.
3. It is a detailed procedure by which a bank with huge non-performing assets is taken over by another bank.
Select the correct answer using the code given below.
(a) 1 only
(b) 2 and 3 only
(c) 1 and 3 only
(d) 1, 2 and 3
3 Is definitely not the purpose, so by elimination the answer is (A). However, just to be sure first statement is right – given verbatim in Mrunal’s summary note Economic survey 2012:
Although, one can’t be expected to have gone through such old material/article.
So let’s check, one of the standard reference books on the Banking topics- “Principles and practices of Banking for JAIIB by Macmillan” page 274-75. Yes answer is A) only 1 correct.
31. With reference to ‘Financial Stability and Development Council’, consider the following statements :
1. It is an organ of NITI Aayog.
2. It is headed by the Union Finance Minister.
3. It monitors macroprudential supervision of the economy.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
(a) 1 and 2 only
(b) 3 only
(c) 2 and 3 only
(d) 1, 2 and 3
Mrunal’s lecture L2/P8 : It falls under Dep. Of economic affairs and FM is the chairman. So, 1 is wrong and 2 is right. By elimination, we are left with answer “C”.
Crosscheck with Finmin website also confirms:
41. With reference to ‘Bitcoins’, sometimes seen in the news, which of the following statements is/are correct?
1. Bitcoins are tracked by the Central Banks of the countries.
2. Anyone with a Bitcoin address can send and receive Bitcoins from anyone else with a Bitcoin address.
3. Online payments can be sent without either side knowing the identity of the other.
Select the correct answer using the code given below.
(a) 1 and 2 only
(b) 2 and 3 only
(c) 3 only
(d) 1, 2 and 3
Mrunal’s bitcoin lecture L3/P8: They’re not tracked by any central bank or authority. And Both 2 and 3 are right.
51. Regarding ‘Atal Pension Yojana’, which of the following statements is/are correct?
1. It is a minimum guaranteed pension scheme mainly targeted at unorganized sector workers.
2. Only one member of a family can join the scheme.
3. Same amount of pension is guaranteed for the spouse for life after subscriber’s death.
Select the correct answer using the code given below.
(a) 1 only
(b) 2 and 3 only
(c) 1 and 3 only
(d) 1, 2 and 3
First statement is right as per Mrunal’s lecture L2/P10.
Remaining statements can be eliminated correctly by mere guess work- that all adult family members eligible, and after death of husband, wife ought to get pension.
But Just for crosschecking- here is the FAQ on IBA (Indian Bank’s association) and it proves that no. 2 is wrong and 3 is right. Accordingly, Answer C: 1 and 3.
Pillar#2: Budget, Fiscal Policy
35. The term ‘Base Erosion and Profit Shifting’ is sometimes seen in the news in the context of
(a) mining operation by multinational companies in resource-rich but backward areas
(b) curbing of the tax evasion by multinational companies
(c) exploitation of genetic resources of a country by multinational companies
(d) lack of consideration of environmental costs in the planning and implementation of developmental projects
Directly given in Mrunal’s lecture BES162/P4
78. There has been a persistent deficit budget year after year. Which action/actions of the following can be taken by the Government to reduce the deficit?
1. Reducing revenue expenditure
2. Introducing new welfare schemes
3. Rationalizing subsidies
4. Reducing import duty
Select the correct answer using the code given below.
(a) 1 only
(b) 2 and 3 only
(c) 1 and 3 only
(d) 1, 2, 3 and 4
Just by applying logic i.e. to reduce deficit, we’ve to increase income and reduce Expenditure.
| Option | Does it increase income | Does it reduce Expenditure |
| 1. Reducing revenue expenditure | – | YES |
| 2. Introducing new welfare schemes | – | NO |
| 3. Rationalizing subsidies | – | YES |
| 4. Reducing import duty | NO | – |
Answer is only 1 and 3. More details at Mrunal’s lecture BES162/P19: fiscal deficit
87. Which of the following is/are included in the capital budget of the Government of India?
1. Expenditure on acquisition of assets like roads, buildings, machinery, etc.
2. Loans received from foreign governments
3. Loans and advances granted to the States and Union Territories
Select the correct answer using the code given below.
(a) 1 only
(b) 2 and 3 only
(c) 1 and 3 only
(d) 1, 2 and 3
Verbatim given in Mrunal’s lecture BES162/P9. Finally, I can die in peace knowing that atleast my majoori of explaining the classification/parts of budget since last half decade, is not gone to waste. All three statements are correct.
Pillar#3: Balance of Payment (BoP), International Economics
16. With reference to the ‘Trans-Pacific Partnership’, consider the following statements:
1. It is an agreement among all the Pacific Rim countries except China and Russia.
2. It is a strategic alliance for the purpose of maritime security ONLY
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
(a) 1 only
(b) 2 only
(c) Both 1 and 2
(d) Neither 1 nor 2
TPP is meant for free trade. So second statement is wrong. We’ve to cross check the list of Pacific rim countries against TPP nations. The Pacific Rim includes countries bordering the Pacific Ocean [Ref#1 and Ref#2] On that logic, North Korea and Columbia also Pacific rim countries. But not in TPP list of countries (https://ustr.gov/tpp/) similarly Columbia absent. Therefore, answer D. neither 1 nor 2 correct.
Also possible to get answer through gut-feeling, because in both statements they’ve used “Absolute terms”- “all countries”, “only maritime security”….whenever UPSC uses absolute terms, often, they’re wrong statements.
57. ‘European Stability Mechanism’, sometimes seen in the news, is an
(a) agency created by EU to deal with the impact of millions of refugees arriving from Middle East
(b) agency of EU that provides financial assistance to eurozone countries
(c) agency of EU to deal with all the bilateral and multilateral agreements on trade

European Stability Mechanism is a European Union agency that provides financial assistance, in the form of loans, to eurozone countries. Says Indianexpress July 2015
52. The term ‘Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership’ often appears in the news in the context of the affairs of a group of countries known as

86. In the context of which of the following do you sometimes find the terms `amber box, blue box and green box’ in the news?
(a) WTO affairs
(b) SAARC affairs
(c) UNFCCC affairs
(d) India-EU negotiations on FTA
Mrunal’s Lecture L3/P6: WTO– they’re associated with WTO. Similar question UPSC asked last year- Peace clause, agreement on Agricultre etc are associated with which organization?
89. Recently, which one of the following currencies has been proposed to be added to the basket of IMF’s SDR?
(a) Ruble
(b) Rand
(c) Indian Rupee
(d) Renminbi
Mrunal’s Lecture BES163-P4: IMF Reforms , as well as last year’s ML5/P4 lecture- where specifically the word Renminbi was used.

1. The International Finance Corporation, which offers these bonds, is an arm of the World Bank.
2. They are the rupee-denominated bonds and are a source of debt financing for the public and private sector.
Select the correct answer using the code given below.
(a) 1 only
(h) 2 only
(c) Both 1 and 2
(d) Neither 1 nor 2
Mrunal’s Lecture BES163/P3: First statement is right and Second statement initial part is also, correct- they’re rupee denominated and ‘debt’ type of instrument.
We’ve to check whether public sector firms also use it. answer is yes- Indianexpress confirms in October 2015. Hence, both correct. Although Difficult in exam hall- due to public and private.
42. Consider the following statements :
1. New Development Bank has been set up by APEC.
2. The headquarters of New Development Bank is in Shanghai.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
(a) 1 only
(b) 2 only
(c) Both 1 and 2
(d) Neither 1 nor 2
Mrunal’s Article: : First is wrong- its BRICS nations. 2nd is right – HQ is Shanghai. Ref
Easy for senior players who appeared in last two mains. Easy to Medium difficulty for first timers.
46. What is/are the purpose/purposes of Government’s ‘Sovereign Gold Bond Scheme’ and ‘Gold Monetization Scheme’?
1. To bring the idle gold lying with Indian households into the economy
2. To promote FDI in the gold and jewellery sector
3. To reduce India’s dependence on gold imports
Select the correct answer using the code given below.
(a) 1 only
(b) 2 and 3 only
(c) 1 and 3 only
(d) 1, 2 and 3
Mrunal’s BES163/P1: FDI is not the purpose – so all options involving 2 are wrong. 1 and 3 are right. Economic Survey Vol.2 Page 18 confirms.
50. ‘Global Financial Stability Report’ is prepared by the
(a) European Central Bank
(b) International Monetary Fund
(c) International Bank for Reconstruction and Development
(d) Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development
In this year’s lecture series, I had covered nearly dozen “Who prepares which report” Salaa ek yehi reh gyaa. This is classic case of “Haath aayaa par moonh naa lagaa”.

(b) 2 only
(c) Both 1 and 2
(d) Neither 1 nor 2
Jaitley attended its meeting in April 2016 says IndianExpress
But newspapers didn’t cover theoretical portion. Upon looking at official IMF page–
Yes, both statements are correct. लेकिन साला इतना डिटेल में कोन प्रिपेर करता है?? especially for a low-profile organization like this.
93. Which of the following best describes the term ‘import cover’, sometimes seen in the news?
(a) It is the ratio of value of imports to the Gross Domestic Product of a country

(c) Maharashtra
(d) Uttar Pradesh

They use four indicators to count GHI- and above three are included. Hence answer “C”-all of them.

Shale gas, Paris Summit, and many other topics- too I had covered under BES16 Lecture series. But their MCQs will be solved under the Environment-Agriculture-Geography segment – which is coming soon. Besides it doesn’t look good to falsely portray that entire GS-paper is economy only- especially when I’m not running Economics optional coaching :P
PS: Any correction, post in the comment with reference link.
![[Errors/discrepancy] 16 MCQs where UPSC Official Prelims-2020 Answerkey & Coaching classes differ, while 2 MCQs cancelled](https://mrunal.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/csp2020-akey-differ-table-500x383.png)
sir … First of all a great thanks to you. For economics and related topics i have solely relied on your lectures. this year out of the above questions i have done all correct except 2. The 2 incorrect was due to exam pressure rather than conceptual inefficiency. You are doing a great service to upsc aspirants who due to any reason cant afford delhi ambience. Now i wish you start your integrated approach for mains also. Thanks also to ratanjali madam also. i read through her videos and powerpoints . They are equally good .
correct 54*1 =54
wrong 17/3 = 5.67
marks =48.33/100
ie 96.66/200
I guess it will be 1/3 of 34 marks…waiting for someone to clear the doubt
Yes you are right, negative penalty is of 1/3rd of total marks alloted to the particular question, so if 17 are wrong so a negative penalty will be of 34/3=11.33
correct 54*2= 108
wrong 17*2/3= 34/3= 11.34
total marks= 96.66/200
so BOTH METHODS yield the same result.
Actually you are doing same thing as I have written instead of multiplying first you are dividing and subtracting and then multiplying by 2, like: (2*(54-(17/3)), so anyway it will yield same result.
Sir ,aapki wajah se hi economy k question sahi hua h . Baki me gadbad ho gyi .pkzZ help for 2017 Also .sir next yr bhi series upload karna. It’s like a panacea.
Thanx sir u r grt.
Aaapko bharat ratan milna chahiye for helping student community at free of cost.

Sir. Regarding the question related to IFC Masala bonds.
I chose option 2 only as it is a member of World Bank group and not a branch of world Bank itself. I verified it from Wikipedia as well.
Please throw some light on this.
Thank u sir… I have followed economics, geography and modern history from ur website and video series… I am scoring in the range of 118-124 in prelims without taking any coaching. Hope to write mains this year.. All because of ur guidance. Thank uuu so muchhh sir. Ur team rocks… ur interactive teaching coupled with funny jokes and picture references help remembering tough concepts. Kudos to ur efforts.
guys anyone please tell how is negative marking calculated…i have done 60 correct but also 24 wrong
in easy way it’s like ..k if v do 6 wrong 1 right goes ..{0.33 ×6=1.98}..this is the way I understand it..may be I m wrong.
penalty is 1/3 of marks alloted i.e. 2/3. so if you do 3 wrongs, 1 right goes
Correct 60*2=120
Incorrect 24*0.66=16
Final score=104
The test booklet says the negative marking is 1/3 of the marks assigned which is 2 per question. so 1/3 of 2 will be deducted for every wrong answer.
effective right answers are 60-8=52 questions
marks for correct answers 60*1=60
wrong 24/3= 8
net total= 52/100
ie total marks = 104/200
Wrt to the question on IFC masala bonds the 2nd statement says ‘they’…if ‘they’ means IFC’s masala bonds then it is absolutely irrelevant and also incorrect bcoz only IFC has issued them [how can someone else issue bonds in the name of ifc].The proceeds from the sale of bonds was used by IFC to fund infrastructure projects in India by investing in infra bonds issued by Indian companies eg Axis Bank.
The Indian public sector companies such as Indian railway finance corporation followed suit by issuing similar bonds( with the same name ) to raise funds for infrastructure.
In all over india ,all poor people who can’t take any coaching are getting benefited by you Sir. in this money motivated era students are getting good marks without taking any coaching because its your and yours team efforts. we all are very thankful to you
God bless you sir…Thank you
60-8=52
52*2=104
PSU and not Public sector. There is a difference between between PSU and public sector as public sector include both Government ( state/ central/ both) and PSU. So, I think statement 2 is wrong. Because if statement 2 is correct that means even governments could raise money from Masala bonds

Thank you Sir, your notes is very helpfull…..
No anu.. For 3 wrong one roght goes.. Score = (x-(y/3)) * 2 where x is no of correct and y is no of wrong
Hey its “one third of the marks allotted to the que.”
So its .33*2
Hence say u r getting 64 correct =64*2=128
Then u r getting 22 wrong then it will ne 22*2*0.33=14.52
So
final Score will be 128-14.52=113.48
