Case Based

A shoe shop decided to offer a sale. It sells more shoes but take in less money per pair sold. The gain or loss from the sale dependsmajorly upon the price elasticity of demand. The future of any business depend upon the market opportunity and profitability. Elasticity of demand is the key in such case, it is a measure of responsiveness, a point to which a demand or supply curve reacts to a change in price. Understanding elasticity concept is useful and essential in comprehending an extremely wide range of applications in economics such as the incidence of taxation, welfare distribution or especially, the response of supply and demand in a market. The common elasticities used include price elasticity of demand, price elasticity of supply and income elasticity of demand.

Question. The firm will gain more from the sale only, when the price elasticity of demand is ……… .   
(a) less than one
(b) more than one
(c) equal to one
(d) All of the above

Answer

A

Question. Assertion (A) Elasticity of demand helps in identifying the presence of a group of consumers in market.

(b) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A)
(c) Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true
(d) Both are false

Case Based 

Observation allows researchers to experience a specific aspect of social life and get a first-hand look at a trend, institution, or behaviour. Participant observation involves the researcher joining a sample of individuals without interfering with that group’s normal activities in order to document their routine behaviour or observe them in a natural context. Observational research is a type of descriptive research that differs from most other forms of data gathering as in that the researcher’s goal is not to manipulate the variables being observed.
While participants may or may not be aware of the researchers’ presence, the researchers do not try to control variables (as in an experiment), or ask participants to respond to direct questions (as in an interview or survey based study).
Instead, the participants are simply observed in a natural setting, defined as a place in which behaviour ordinarily occurs, rather than a place that has been arranged specifically for the purpose of observing the behaviour. Unlike correlational and experimental research which use quantitative data, observational studies tend to use qualitative data.

Question. Which of the following are the advantages of observational research technique?
(a) Verification of data
(b) Flexibility
(c) Unbiased
(d) All of the above

Answer

D

Question. As mentioned in the above paragraph, observational research is a part of which of the following methods ofcollecting data?
(a) Personal investigation
(b) Information from correspondents
(c) Questionnaire filled by the enumerators
(d) None of the above

Answer

A

Question. Which of the given below is/are true about observational research method?
(a) It is a type of descriptive in nature
(b) It is non-judgemental
