Q2. B — A planned savings target divides the future requirement into manageable regular savings. This avoids unnecessary borrowing and makes the financial goal clearer.
Q3. C — School fees are an essential and time-bound financial obligation. Essential needs should generally be prioritised before discretionary purchases such as an expensive phone.
Q4. D — Without savings, a person may have difficulty dealing with emergencies or achieving future goals. Financial management involves planning for both present and future needs.

Topic 2: Inflation and Purchasing Power
Q11. A — When prices rise while the allowance remains unchanged, the same ₹2,000 can purchase fewer goods and services. Therefore, purchasing power falls.
Q12. C — ₹100 now buys fewer notebooks than before. This directly demonstrates a decline in the purchasing power of money.

Q20. C — Inflation can reduce the future purchasing power of a fixed amount of money, especially over a longer period.
Topic 3: Simple and Compound Interest
Q21. A — Under simple interest, interest is calculated on the original principal. Keeping the principal and rate constant means total interest generally rises as the time period increases.

Q43. C — Mutual funds pool money from investors and can invest across multiple securities according to their stated strategy, providing diversification.

Q58. D — A major unexpected loss can place serious pressure on finances. Suitable insurance can reduce the financial impact of certain such losses.
