उत्तर और व्याख्या · explanation in English
Answer: (a) केंद्रीय बैंक सरकार से स्वतंत्र होकर कार्य नहीं कर सकता ।
The passage says neither wing of macroeconomic policy — monetary or fiscal — can work independently without the other's support. Monetary policy is run by the central bank and fiscal policy by the Government, so the corollary is that the central bank cannot work independently of the Government.
- ✓ (a) Monetary policy (the central bank) 'cannot independently work without active support' of fiscal policy (the Government) — a direct restatement.
- ✗ (b) Regulation of financial markets and institutions is not mentioned.
- ✗ (c) Market economy versus socialist policies lies outside the passage.
- ✗ (d) Financial sector reforms are not discussed; the passage is about coordination between monetary and fiscal policy.
Remember · A corollary follows directly from the statement; translate its terms (monetary = central bank, fiscal = Government) and look for the restatement.
