UPSC Previous Year Questions: CSP 2021
One cannot place less emphasis on the fact as to how important it is to solve questions asked by UPSC Previously. In fact, UPSC tends to repeat from its own stock, verbatim.
This thread, shall be solely dedicated for posting questions asked in CSP & CAPF.
I shall be posting questions here on a daily basis. Urge you all to answer these in all seriousness. Shoot doubts if you have any, wrt solving any question.
Remember the idea is to solve them, again. Reading questions and solutions is NOT sufficient.
Cheers!

If a commodity is provided free to the public by the Government, then
(a) The opportunity cost is zero.
(b) The opportunity cost is ignored.
(c) The opportunity cost is transferred from the consumers of the product to the tax-paying public.
(d) The opportunity cost is transferred from the consumers of the product to the Government.
Though the answer given is C ....however question arise that the govt might use debt finance to provide free service, in that case taxpaying public doesn't share the burden ....so D is plausible?
One of the contentious questions. We assume/ and the fact is that the major source of revenue is taxes collected by public. What is provided free to us? Street Light, protection, public parks etc etc. But where does the money come to the government eventually to maintain these? Thus, I would go with C.

50d analysis for price ceiling examples?
51d
52d
53c
For Price Ceiling question, what I understand is:
Price Ceiling: a legal maximum on the price of a good or a service. For example, government set a price ceiling for Uber to give taxis back an advantage. By putting a ceiling on the price of Uber rides, govt attempted to lower the high price of Uber rides during peak times. However, that didn't happen. The taxi never came, and Uber would show it as shortage.
Whenever a government sets a price ceiling, shortages occur - the demand is larger then what the seller is willing to provide.
Feel free to ask if the concept isn't clear.
