Q13- The horizontal line between y & z is the market clearing price, while OP1 is the guranteed price. 'the govt pays the producers the difference between the two prices', which, as can be seen in the figure, is the area u+v+w+x+y

Why is the horizontal line between y and z the market clearing price? Isn't market clearing price is the price at which quantity demanded equals quantity supplied? The line you are mentioning represents an excess demand over supply.

Since this is an agriculture market, we're supposing that supply fluctuates and therefore, after the govt. has guranteed the price OP1, supply had risen to give the new equilbrium price that has been marked (the one between y & z).
