Explanation / Answer

Question 4

Productive efficiency implies that economy is producing such combination of goods and services that it is impossible to produce more of one good without reducing the quantity of other goods.

So, in contrast, when it is possible to produce more of one good and no less of another good, even without additional resources, production is said to be inefficient or there is production inefficiency.

The correct answer is the option (4).

Question 5

An advance in technology, in general, increases the production potential of an economy. This enables economy to produce more of all goods and services. This shifts the PPF of the economy to the right.

The correct answer is the option (1).

Question 6

Economic growth implies that economy is able to produce more goods and services relative to the previous year.

Production of more goods and services relative to previous time period implies rightward or outward shift of the PPF.

So, economic growth is depicted by PPF shifting outward.

The correct answer is the option (1).
