    • (a) Football

    • (c) Cricket

    • (a) Mouses
    • (b) Mices

  4. Q4. What is the Simple Interest on Rs 8000 at 10% per annum for 3 years?

    • (a) Rs 2400
    • (b) Rs 2200
    • (c) Rs 2800
    • (d) Rs 2000

    Answer: (a) Rs 2400. SI = (Pร—Rร—T)/100 = (8000ร—10ร—3)/100 = Rs 2400.

  5. Q5. Punjab's specific challenge of high fiscal debt as a proportion of its GSDP has been attributed significantly to which combination of factors?

    • (a) Zero borrowing of any kind, with debt arising purely from accounting errors
    • (b) Excessive foreign currency reserves held unnecessarily
    • (c) Free power subsidies, pension liabilities, and past debt-financed welfare commitments, alongside relatively slower non-agricultural growth
    • (d) Complete absence of any state revenue collection whatsoever

    Answer: (c) Free power subsidies, pension liabilities, and past debt-financed welfare commitments, alongside relatively slower non-agricultural growth. Punjab's elevated fiscal debt-to-GSDP ratio has been attributed to a combination of factors including free power subsidies, growing pension liabilities, past debt-financed welfare commitments, and comparatively slower growth in non-agricultural revenue-generating sectors.

  6. Q6. Noting on a government file means?

    • (a) A private diary entry
    • (b) A summary of the letter
    • (c) A copy of the judgment
