Answer: D
Explanation:
We are given a comparison between 'economic growth' and 'growth energy consumption' and told that the first increased and the second did not. We are also told that a certain amount of oil is being saved by energy improvements. As it is difficult to infer a likely answer in 'must or could be true' type questions, we'll go over all of the options, the Alternative approach.
A. We have no information on the relative ease of finding new sources of oil. No
B. We have no information on how to reduce oil imports. No
C. We have no information on what caused energy consumption to remain steady. No
D. This is exactly what happened so is true. This is almost certainly our answer, let's go over (Correct )
E. We have no information on the link between development of energy sources and growth. No
(D) is our answer; note that all other answers explicitly added information not in the original passage. This is what you need to watch out for in these types of questions.
Answer: A. the company will be willing to pay a different amount for this resource.
Explanation:
The upper limit for the resource was 18 and anything up to 18 would have attracted the same shadow price (price company estimated it was willing to pay for access to this resource).
The access was increased past this limit however to 18.01. The company therefore will now have more access to the resource and so will be willing to pay a different amount for the resource.

If demand is greater than supply, then there is inflation. Hence, the government has to devaluate its currency on net borrowings from abroad. Supply increases and price becomes stable.
The banks have to lower their bank rate and decrease CRR. When prices rise, consumption decreases and investment increases. When the interest rate is made high consumption and investment both become stable. Hence, there is full employment. Government has a fiscal policy to increase taxes and borrowings and increase the export and income rises and price becomes stable.
