KSEEB Class 10 SSLC Economics Chapter 3 Money and Credit Notes Banks

The major function of a bank is to give loans, particularly to businessmen and entrepreneurs and thereby earn interest.
Banks get money for providing loans by accepting the deposits from people.
Deposits are the lifeline of a bank. These are of two types: time deposits and demand deposits. Time deposits can be withdrawn only after a specified period of time. Demand deposits in the bank can be withdrawn on demand
by issuing cheques.
Credit (i.e. giving loans) refers to an agreement in which the lender supplies the borrower with money, goods or services in return for the promise of future payments with interest.
Credit plays a vital and positive role in the society.

 Reserve Bank of India and its Functions And Concept of Money Supply and its Measurement

  • The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) supervises the functioning of formal sources of the loan.
  • In India, four measures of money supply are used to measure the monetary stock-M1, M2, M3, and M4.
  • M1 = currency notes and coins + net demand deposits held in commercial banks;
  • M2 – M1 + Savings deposits with Post Office savings banks;
  • M3 = M1 + Net time deposits of commercial banks; and
  • M4 = M3 + Total deposits with Post Office savings banks

 Credit Control Measures Adopted By The RBI

  • Terms of credit include interest rate, collateral and documentation requirements and the mode of repayment.
  • The terms of credit may vary depending on the nature of the lender and the borrower.
  • Collateral is an asset that the borrower owns (such as land, building, vehicles, livestock etc.) and uses this as a guarantee to the lender until the loan is repaid.
  • Formal credit is generally available with the banks and cooperatives. They charge lesser rates of interest than informal institutions.
  • Informal lenders include moneylenders, traders, employers, relatives, and friends etc. They charge much higher interest on loans. There is no one to stop them from using unfair means to get their money back
  • Credit control measures are broadly classified into two types, namely
  •  quantitative control measures, and
  •  qualitative or selective control measures.

KSEEB Solutions for SSLC Class 10 English Chapter 8 Science And Hope Of Survival Points To Ponder

The lesson is an article that discusses the necessity and importance of science and scientific research.

The author, being a scientist discusses the need for practical and basic science in different aspects. In 1960, during the height of the Cold War, the author was in Moscow doing research on the theory of seismic waves, he was summoned by the President of Russia to attend a summit in Geneva.

At that time the Earth lived under the threat of annihilation by a nuclear weapon as the three superpowers USSR, USA, and UK possessed them.
Hence they maintained peace because of the fear of Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD).

Scientists all over the world gave a unanimous solution which resulted in the Nuclear Test Ban.

Scientific inventions like antibiotics, electronics, biotechnology, synthetic fibers, the green revolution, and genetic forensic diagnosis, etc. have given hope for the welfare of the world.

It is commonly recognized that the very survival of our civilization is threatened by natural and man-made disasters. Among them are earthquakes, self-inflicted destruction of megacities, environmental catastrophes, and economic and social crises.

Analysis Of Science And Hope Of Survival Think About The Text

1. Which sentence in the text suggests the author was involved more in the theoretical research than in its application to the warcraft?
Answer: The following lines suggest that the author was involved more in the theoretical research than in its application to the warcraft—“‘I was in Moscow doing research on the theory of seismic waver — tremors generated by an earthquake. I‘ was absorbed in my problem; I enjoyed the mathematical challenge. I did not give much thought to how it connects with real life.”

2. “A paradox may refer to a person, a thing or a situation that has two opposite features and therefore seems strange.” In light of this definition, how is ‘MAD’ a paradox?
Answer: During the Cold War period every human who lived on the earth was under the threat of annihilation by a nuclear weapons. Each Super Power had manufactured deadly nuclear bombs and missiles to destroy the others. This ‘Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD)’ was like the only thin thread protecting all of us from the common fatal fate. Thus the nuclear weapons which were the reason for destruction were also the reason for non-destruction. Thus the “MAD” is certainly a paradox.

3. What was the ‘problem’ that nuclear power had faced? Was it a violation of the agreement or was it the detection of violation? Explain briefly.
Answer: The problem was the detection of violation. Suppose that —the nuclear powers had signed agreement to stop the test of the new nuclear weapons, and if one ofthe participants had violated this agreement and secretly made an underground nuclear explosion, then how the other powers can detect the violation.

4. “Iron curtain” is referred to as a barrier. It was outwardly difficult for the opposite sides of the iron curtain to find out the solution for the problem of violation of the agreement. What was the reason?
Answer: It was outwardly difficult for the opposite sides of the Iron Curtain to find out the solution for the problem of violation of agreement because of the vast differences in their cultural background. While one side was capitalist the other was communist. There was a great contrast in the ideologies themselves.

5. Make a list oflessons that the writer learnt at the Geneva Summit.
Answer: The writer learnt at the Geneva Summit that all the scientists all over the world think and interact in a similar manner. It taught him never to feel lonely whenever he went abroad. The most important lesson it taught him was while there is science, there is the hope of survival and well-being for all the humankind.

6. Give a few examples which illustrate the writer’s stand that scientists are the most practical people in the world?
Answer: The writers say that scientists are the most practical people in the world. The inventions of new technologies, new brands of industry right from defense to entertainment like antibiotics, electronics, biotechnologies etc. are examples of research has given us new sources of energy, cure from cancer, efficient defense from terrorism etc. These people are headhunted by various organizations and given top posts.

7. Who willbe headhunted by financial institutions and pharmaceutical industries? Why?
Answer: People trained in theoretical physics are headhunted by financial institutions. Those trained in the frontiers of biological research become founders and directors in the Pharmaceutical industry. This is due to the feet that theyare highly knowledgeable in basic science which gives them a head start in their career.

8. Some statements are given below. Why or why not are they true? Discuss with your partner.
a) Money is more powerful than intellectual resources.
Answer: a)Money can never be more powerful than intellectual resources. Money can buy any physical or material resources but it cannot buy intelligence. Without intelligence we can earn money but money cannot buy intelligence.

b) Intellectual resources help the survival of mankind
Answer: Intellectual resources help the survival of mankind: Yes, It is the intellectual resource that is helping the survival of mankind and it is the intellectual resource that is responsible for destruction too. The intellectual power used for the welfare of mankind can make this world safe and beautiful to live in. The invention and discovery of antibiotics, medicines for deadly diseases, advancement in transport and communication, etc. are some of examples the positive use of intellectual resources. The manufacture of deadly weapons is an example for the misuse of intellectual resources.

c) Basic research is a way of stalling disasters
Answer: Basic research is a way of stalling diseases: Research on various fields yields both helpful as well as harmful results. Basic research can create a springboard for developing a new disaster preparedness industry. Research can help predict the threat of natural disasters and manmade disasters. It can help in finding cure for fatal diseases like cancer etc. The main purpose of conducting research in any field is for the welfare of humankind.
