1In Samacheer Kalvi Class 11 Economics, microeconomics is best defined as the study of:
A.The economy as a whole, including national income and inflation
B.Individual economic units such as consumers, firms, and industries
C.Only government budgets and fiscal deficits
D.International trade balances alone
Explanation: Microeconomics studies the behaviour of individual economic agents—households, firms, and industries—and how prices are determined in particular markets. Macroeconomics studies aggregates for the economy as a whole.
2Who is widely regarded as the father of modern economics and author of The Wealth of Nations (1776)?
A.Karl Marx
B.John Maynard Keynes
C.Adam Smith
D.Alfred Marshall
Explanation: Adam Smith’s An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1776) laid foundations of classical economics; textbooks commonly call him the father of economics.
3According to Lionel Robbins’s scarcity definition, economics is the science that studies human behaviour as a relationship between:
A.Unlimited wants and scarce means which have alternative uses
B.Government revenue and public expenditure only
C.Physical science laws and chemical reactions
D.Population size and land area only
Explanation: Robbins defined economics as the science which studies human behaviour as a relationship between ends and scarce means which have alternative uses. Scarcity and choice are central.
4A free good in economics is one that:
A.Is sold only by the government at a high price
B.Is available in abundance relative to demand and has no price
C.Always has a market price greater than zero
D.Can only be produced with advanced technology
Explanation: Free goods (for example air in many settings) are so abundant relative to wants that they command no price. Economic goods are scarce and have a price.
5Positive economics is primarily concerned with:
A.What ought to be, based on value judgments
B.What is, was, or will be, based on facts and cause–effect analysis
C.Only moral preaching about fairness
D.Setting legal punishments for firms
Explanation: Positive economics describes and explains economic phenomena without prescribing values. Normative economics deals with what ought to be and involves value judgments.
6In a capitalist economy, the basic economic problems are mainly solved by:
A.Central planning boards alone
B.Price mechanism and market forces of demand and supply
C.Religious authority only
D.Barter without any prices
Explanation: Under capitalism (market economy), relative prices guide what, how, and for whom to produce. Socialism relies more on central planning; mixed economies combine markets and state.
7Which statement correctly distinguishes goods from services?
A.Goods are intangible while services are always tangible
B.Goods are tangible products; services are intangible and non-storable in the usual sense
C.Services can always be stored in warehouses like goods
D.There is no economic difference between goods and services
Explanation: Goods are material/tangible products that can often be stored; services (teaching, banking, transport) are intangible activities consumed largely as they are provided.
8The central problem “for whom to produce” refers to:
A.Choosing technology that uses more labour or more capital
B.Deciding the composition of goods and services to produce
C.Distributing output among members of society (distribution of income)
D.Only deciding the location of factories
Explanation: The three central problems are: what to produce, how to produce, and for whom to produce. “For whom” concerns the distribution of goods among people—who gets how much of the output.
9Utility in consumer theory means:
A.The total money income of a consumer
B.The want-satisfying power of a commodity
C.The cost of producing a good
D.Government tax revenue from a good
Explanation: Utility is the capacity of a commodity to satisfy human wants. It is subjective and varies across persons and situations.
10The law of diminishing marginal utility states that as a consumer consumes more units of a commodity:
A.Total utility always falls from the first unit
B.Marginal utility of successive units tends to decline
C.Price of the commodity must rise
D.Income of the consumer necessarily increases
Explanation: Other things equal, as consumption of a good increases, the additional satisfaction (MU) from each extra unit eventually declines. Total utility may still rise while MU is positive but falling.
