FOR ECONOMICS: what combinations can you do for Paper 4 theory? Like if you practice Micro theory questions, then which questions of Macro you MUST revise?
Don't have time for practicing all the theory questions now ! :( pleasee help

P.s: I think the Cie book is good enough for economics Bramford one, also Imran latif's notes although they are very lengthy :p

Q24) CPI was 2.5% Now let's analyse each option to see which one best fits the statement asked in the question.
A The CPI is not an accurate measure of inflation.
It is actually an accurate measure of inflation. CPI, WPI etc are all means of measuring inflation.
B Some prices must have fallen.
This can't be true because if price fall, there would be in inflation in an economy. Even if the CPI falls, it doesn't mean that inflation has fallen.
C The average price increase of other items was less than 2.5 %.
This can be true because as we can see the table, the price change of most of the items are greater than 2.5% however, the fact that other items which are not included in the table - might be greater in no. - experience a low price increase.
D The real value of money rose by more than 2.5 %.
The value of money never rises when economy experiences inflation.

So answer is C

sir can u please me explain in detail....
You can call me Salman. :) Sir is a bit awkward :p

Anyways, yes sure. I just used the table to calculate the comparative advantage to country X and country Y. To do this, you'd just need to cross multiply.
Example:
For country X, the ratios are R = 300, W = 900
To calculate 1 W we would divide 900 by 300.
1W = 900/300
1 W = 3

Likewise, I did for Country Y.
