They asked about Food inflation in 2009-10,rather inflation.and according to Economic survey it was 18 % ,I suppose, there was an option too.Regarding repo rate 5.25 was not in the option,and none of these was there,but since the question mentioned about current Repo rate and 5.5% as option,it was difficult to mark the answer.Please do provide some info what to do in these kind of situations.
Anonymous:
Why the answer can't be none of these.There will be 2 to 3 answers as none of these in list of 50 questions.
before going to exam you must be known that the question paper has been prepared atleast one month ago...and you have prepare accordingly.
