Sample questions
Which of the following best describes a market that operates across the whole country?
A national market connects buyers and sellers across an entire country, such as the market for a brand of soap sold all over India.
Why is an online shopping app considered a market even though buyers and sellers never meet face to face?
A market is defined by the exchange between buyers and sellers, not by physical contact; a virtual platform that enables this exchange is still a market.
Consider this market for notebooks: at Rs 20, demand = 50 and supply = 90; at Rs 15, demand = 70 and supply = 70; at Rs 10, demand = 90 and supply = 50. What is the equilibrium price and quantity?
Equilibrium is where quantity demanded equals quantity supplied; at Rs 15 both equal 70, giving price Rs 15 and quantity 70.
