Question:

Ramprasad Yadav has an import export business in Maharashtra. He imported goods worth 5 billion dollars. What will happen when we increase the imports of commodities in the country?

Options:

Inflow of foreign exchange 

Outflow of foreign exchange

Supply of foreign exchange increased

Both 2 and 3

Correct Answer:

Outflow of foreign exchange

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2: Outflow of foreign exchange

When a country increases its imports, it means that it is buying more goods and services from other countries. This requires the payment of foreign currency to these countries. This outflow of foreign currency can be a drain on a country's foreign exchange reserves, especially if exports do not keep pace.
