    • Medium of information

    • Medium of trade. 

    • None

    Correct Answer
    A. Medium of exchange
    Explanation
    Money acts as a medium of exchange because it is used to facilitate the buying and selling of goods and services. It serves as a common unit of value that allows individuals to trade with one another, eliminating the need for bartering or direct exchange of goods. Money acts as a universally accepted medium that enables transactions to take place efficiently and effectively.

    • Banker of option

    • Bills of exchange

    • Currency

    Correct Answer
    A. Barter system 
    Explanation
    The exchange of goods for goods is known as the barter system. In this system, there is no involvement of currency or money.

However, it is not commonly used today as the use of currency has become widespread.

    The problem with the barter system is:

    • Double coincidence of wants. 

    • A good transport system 

    • Advertising 

    • Communication 

    Correct Answer
    A. Double coincidence of wants. 
    Explanation
    The problem with the barter system is the double coincidence of wants. This means that for a trade to occur, both parties involved must have something that the other party wants and vice versa. This can be difficult to achieve as it requires a perfect match of wants and needs between two individuals. Without this double coincidence, it becomes challenging to facilitate exchanges and can hinder the efficiency of the barter system.

    • Terms of credit.

    • Double coincidence of wants

    • Selling

    • Trade

    Correct Answer
    A. Double coincidence of wants
    Explanation
    The phrase "What a person desires to sell is exactly what the other wishes to buy" refers to the concept of double coincidence of wants. This means that in a barter system, for a trade to occur, there must be a mutual agreement where both parties have goods or services that the other wants. It highlights the difficulty of finding a direct match between what one person wants to sell and what the other person wants to buy, emphasizing the importance of a double coincidence for a successful trade.

    Who introduced the idea of free-market:

    • Adam Smith, 1776

    • Karl Marx, 1850

    • J.P. Morgan, 1890

    • Amartya Sen, 1970

    Correct Answer
    A. Adam Smith, 1776
    Explanation
    Adam Smith is the correct answer because he is widely regarded as the father of modern economics and the proponent of the idea of free-market. In his book "The Wealth of Nations" published in 1776, Smith advocated for a laissez-faire economic system where individuals and businesses are free to operate without government interference. He argued that this would lead to economic growth, efficiency, and overall societal welfare. Smith's ideas have had a significant influence on economic theory and policy, making him the most appropriate choice for introducing the idea of free-market.
