1Economics is best described as the study of how people and societies:
A.Allocate scarce resources to satisfy unlimited wants
B.Print currency notes without any limit
C.Avoid all forms of trade and exchange
D.Eliminate every kind of human need permanently
Explanation: At Class 10 level, economics studies scarcity: limited resources must be chosen among competing unlimited wants. That choice problem is the core of the subject.
2Which situation best illustrates the economic problem of scarcity?
A.A family has a limited monthly income but many goods it would like to buy
B.A warehouse is completely empty after a fire
C.A student finishes homework early
D.A river floods during the monsoon
Explanation: Scarcity means limited means relative to unlimited wants. A limited income facing many desired goods is a classic household scarcity problem.
3Opportunity cost is best defined as:
A.The value of the next-best alternative given up when a choice is made
B.The total money spent on all alternatives at once
C.The profit earned after selling a product
D.The tax paid to the government on income
Explanation: Opportunity cost is what you forgo by choosing one option over the next-best alternative. It is central to economic decision-making.
4If a student spends the afternoon studying economics instead of playing cricket, the opportunity cost is best described as:
A.The enjoyment and experience of playing cricket that afternoon
B.The total tuition fees paid for the year
C.The cost of the economics textbook only
D.The marks scored in the next examination
Explanation: Opportunity cost is the next-best alternative forgone. By studying, the student gives up the cricket afternoon, so that forgone activity is the opportunity cost.
5Goods that are used up when consumed (such as food) are called:
A.Consumer goods (non-durable or single-use consumption goods)
B.Capital goods only
C.Intermediate producer services only
D.Foreign exchange reserves
Explanation: Consumer goods satisfy wants directly. Food is a classic non-durable / single-use consumption good used up in consumption.
6Capital goods are best described as goods that:
A.Are used to produce other goods and services
B.Can never be bought or sold in markets
C.Are always free gifts of nature
D.Satisfy wants directly and only once
Explanation: Capital goods (machinery, tools, factory buildings) help produce other goods and services rather than satisfying wants directly like consumer goods.
7In introductory economics, ‘wants’ are considered unlimited mainly because:
A.As some wants are satisfied, new wants tend to arise
B.Every country has unlimited money printing power for households
C.Natural resources can never run short
D.Prices of all goods are fixed by law forever
Explanation: Human wants are said to be unlimited because satisfying one want often leads to new wants. That is why scarcity and choice remain permanent features of economic life.
8A free good in economics is one that:
A.Is available in such abundance that its price is effectively zero (no scarcity)
B.Must always be provided only by the government free of charge
C.Can never be used by more than one person
D.Is always illegal to buy or sell
Explanation: A free good is not scarce relative to demand—so no one needs to pay a price to obtain it (classically, air under ordinary conditions). It is not the same as a government-subsidised good.
9Microeconomics mainly studies:
A.Individual units such as households, firms, and single markets
B.Only the total output of the world economy
C.Only international treaty negotiations
D.Only the printing of currency by central banks
Explanation: Microeconomics focuses on individual decision units and markets—consumers, firms, and product/factor markets—rather than the economy as a whole.
10Macroeconomics is mainly concerned with:
A.Economy-wide aggregates such as national income, inflation, and overall employment
B.Only the price of a single vegetable in one street market
C.Only the cost accounts of one small shop
D.Only the personal diary of one consumer
Explanation: Macroeconomics studies the economy as a whole—national income, general price level, unemployment, growth, and related aggregates.
