Q7- the revenue is the same for unitary elasticity. so the revenue a the price of $25 the revenue of 25 x 100000=2500000.
now the quantity sold is 125000 so the price will be 2500000/125000 = $20.

qns 27 answer is d why not c ??

I had the same doubt.

Only reasonable justification i could come up with is that foreign assets are recorded in the BOP (Capital account) and not foreign reserves.

thats the trick. they said foreign "EXCHANGE" and not foreign "RESERVES". foreign exchange means the country's own currency. so a surplus would reduce own currency instead of increasing it and so D is the only right option.

qns 3-how to do this
qns 11-i choose D but it's C! how?

Que 3 - its a convex diagram (concave to the origin) just put some figures to the diagram and calculate the opportu.cost. You'll see that it increases for every extra unit you choose to produce.. Ans is D right?

Que 11 - i made the same mistake! Its again the maximum price. see initially the surplus is FGH. With the max price, there's a shortage and so the goods traded will only be GI. However, less price will increase the surplus by FGI. SO basically the fal in Qty has to be noted here i think.

In Q22, why is the answer b?

The ratio for Country 1 is 1X=2Y
for country 2 it is 1X=1.33Y
trade is beneficial if the terms of trade is between the two ratios of both countries.
1X=1.5Y is the ans cuz 1.5 is between 2 and 1.33.
