Question:

Options:

Intervention by RBI in the foreign exchange market from time to time

Exchange rate gets influenced by the purchase and sale of foreign currency in the foreign exchange market

Exchange rate does not remain within limits set by RBI

None of the above

Correct Answer:

Exchange rate does not remain within limits set by RBI

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 3: Exchange rate does not remain within limits set by RBI

In a managed floating exchange rate system:

  • Intervention by RBI in the foreign exchange market from time to time: This is correct. In a managed float, the central bank, such as the RBI, intervenes occasionally to stabilize or influence the exchange rate.

  • Exchange rate gets influenced by the purchase and sale of foreign currency in the foreign exchange market: This is also correct. The exchange rate is influenced by supply and demand dynamics in the foreign exchange market, including the actions of the central bank.

  • Exchange rate does not remain within limits set by RBI: This statement is not correct. While a managed floating system allows for some fluctuation, the central bank typically sets certain intervention limits or target bands within which the exchange rate is expected to fluctuate.
