Question:

In which of the following economies, decisions are taken on the basis of price mechanism?

Options:

Centrally planned economy

Mixed Economy

Market economy

Both 2 and 3

Correct Answer:

Market economy

Explanation:

The correct answer is: Option 3 Market economy

  • Centrally planned economy: Incorrect. In this type of economy, the government makes most economic decisions, including what goods and services are produced, how much is produced, and at what prices. Price mechanism plays a minimal role.

  • Mixed economy — Incorrect. The statement is not correct because decisions are taken partly by the government and partly by the market, so it is not purely based on price mechanism.

  • Market economy — Correct. The complete statement is correct because all economic activities are organised through the market, where demand and supply (price mechanism) determine decisions.
