Question : Consider the given consumption function of country X and answer the following question.
C = 100 + 0.8Y
What is the value of autonomous consumption (A) and marginal propensity to consume (MPC) in the given equation?
Option 1: A = 0.8, MPC = 100
Option 2: A = 100, MPC = 80
Option 3: A = 80, MPC = 0.10
Option 4: A = 100, MPC = 0.8
Correct Answer: A = 100, MPC = 0.8
Solution : The correct option is A = 100, MPC = 0.8.

Question : The value of $\frac{\cot30^{\circ}-\cot75^{\circ}}{\tan15^{\circ}-\tan60^{\circ}}$ is equal to:
Option 1: –1
Option 2: 0
Option 3: 1
Option 4: 2
Correct Answer: –1
Solution : We know that $\tan(90-\theta)=\cot \theta$ $\frac{\cot30^{\circ}-\cot75^{\circ}}{\tan15^{\circ}-\tan60^{\circ}}$ = $\frac{\tan(90^{\circ}-30^{\circ})-\tan(90^{\circ}-75^{\circ})}{\tan15^{\circ}-\tan60^{\circ}}$ = $\frac{\tan60^{\circ}-\tan15^{\circ}}{\tan15^{\circ}-\tan60^{\circ}}$ = $\frac{-1(\tan15^{\circ}-\tan60^{\circ})}{\tan15^{\circ}-\tan60^{\circ}}$ = $-1$ Hence, the correct answer is –1.
