Q.79. Whom would you consider as unemployed related to the following situations ?
A. A farmer in a farm produces 100 kg paddy in one acreof land during every season. IN addition one year his adult son Raju joined him in farming. But output remained the same
B. Raghu has income by his huge property to lead comfort life. So he does not work
Correct answer given in the Official Answer key is Option (1)
Correct answer should be Option (1)
According to the definition of Unemployment (given in 'People as Resource', Class IX, NCERT) - a person who is willing to do work on the current wages
but here in the above case Raghu is not willing to work. Hence cannot be termed as Unemployed
Raju is disguised unemployed ( condition where more people are working in an area, where less number of people are required. even if you remove the extra worker it doesn't affects the production). Even after Raju joins for farming the production remains 100 kg only. That means Raju is unemployed



Q83  answer given in official answer key is option (2) but none of the option is correct. 

Q96  The Standard Deviation (S.D.) and mean of two groups A and b are given below.
Group                      Standard Deviation                          Mean
   A                                        3                                            70
   B                                        4.2                                         60
The true statement among the following is
I. A is more consistent than B
II. B is more consistent than A
III. A is more efficient than B
IV. B is more efficient than A
1) Only I and III are true
2) Only I and IV are true
3) Only II and III are true
4) Only II and IV are true
Sol. Coefficient of Variation of group A = (3/70)*100 = 4.28
       Coefficient of Variation of group B = (4.2/60)*100 = 7
       Since coefficient of variation of A < coefficient of variation of B
        Hence A is more consistent
        Also mean of A > Mean of B
        Hence A is more efficient
Thus, Statement I and III are true
(More objections will be soon uploaded with their correct explanation)
