iska answer forum ne B diya hai, but i think it should be A. FAR is open for all non-resident  investors to invest in govt securities

https://www.rbi.org.in/Scripts/NotificationUser.aspx?Id=11849&Mode=0 

@D503 here is the official RBI notification regarding FAR it mentions the investments will still be made under the existing routes i.e- VRR, MTF. So the first statement is not completely true as FAR gives you the option of both long term and short term investment.

Well, that’s one thing we all gotta take care of. Getting obscure absurd questions is forgivable. Getting a PYQ or basic book question wrong ? Not so much !

Plz help with this question 


I think it's because the batteries themselves aren't used in place of IC engines, but instead they're used as the fuel source i.e. instead of petrol or diesel. In electric vehicles, they use an electric motor instead of the IC engine and this motor is then powered by the battery. 

This is a good question waise. Also asked in Interview from electrical / EnC engineers.

Hi can someone please clear a simple doubt of mine? How is rise in MSP related to inflation?

MSP is the minimum support price. So usually farmers keep that in mind while selling their crops. Consider 2 scenarios:

1. Suppose in one year,  MSP is 1500 rupees/kg.. then farmers will try to sell it over and above this price threshold, maybe at 1600 rupees.

2. Next year MSP is increased to 1600 rupees/kg, then farmers will obviously not sell it at the price that they sold last year.. This year they might sell it at 1700 rupees. 

And the cycle goes on..

So you see, this is how price of the commodity is increasing every year (if all other factors are constant).  Hence, we correlate MSP with Inflation.. 

P.S: I am not so good at explaining things, I hope this layman approach of mine makes some sense. 

Thank you. It helped :)
