Question 3 of 5
3. Question
Consider the following statements,
1. Diammonium phosphate (DAP) is the world’s most widely used phosphorus fertilizer.
2. It’s highly soluble and thus dissolves quickly in soil to release plant-available phosphate and ammonium.
Which of these statements is/are correct?
Correct
(c) Both 1 and 2 statements are correct
Diammonium phosphate (DAP) is the world’s most widely used phosphorus fertilizer. (1st statement is correct)
DAP fertilizer is an excellent source of P and nitrogen (N) for plant nutrition. It’s highly soluble and thus dissolves quickly in soil to release plant-available phosphate and ammonium. A notable property of DAP is the alkaline pH that develops around the dissolving granule.
Being a basic nutrient for Rabi crops, the DAP fertiliser has to be sprinkled at the time of sowing crops like mustard and wheat. The farmers say they need a bag of at least 45 kilos for sowing an acre of land. Any delay in its supply could adversely impact the sowing of crops. So, the farmers of the state have started turning impatient as they see a lack of supply of fertilizer. (2nd statement is correct)

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
Which of the following statements is correct about Indirect Tax?
Correct
(a) The incidence and impact of taxation are at different points.
The point where tax makes its effect felt is known as the impact of tax—the after effect of tax imposition. The tax which has incidence and impact at the different points is the indirect tax—the person who is hit does not bleed’ someone else bleeds. As, for example, excise, sales tax, etc., which are imposed on either the producers or the traders, but it is the general consumers who bear the burden of tax. The tax which has incidence and impact both at the same point is the direct tax—the person who is hit, the same person bleeds. As for example income tax, interest tax, etc.
