ANS:

3= (D) because as u can see more items of consumer goods are given up as more of capital goods are produced.
          Initiall/ close to zero capital goods no or nothing of consumer goods was given up
          But as it increases close to PPC curve near Y axis almost all consumer goods are given up to produce
          Capital goods.

7 = (B) u can calculate & see the, formulae is % change in Demand/ % change in income, Here expenditure =
       Demand. Hint : it cant be the last one as it has a negetive relationship, it cant be C because it has a 0            income elasticity . As demand has 0 change to + change in income.So calculate for the other two to see if income elasticity is between 0 & 1

for 23
my ans would be C but marking scheme gives A, wat i would think is rate of unemployment is % of working force that are are willing & able to work but cannot find work , so obviously a increase in unemployment
would decrease the people who are employed.But i think wat they mean here is not unemployment of labour as i thaught as i saw the question , they mean unemployment of all resources includiging land + labour + capital
so this would reduce effectiveness of use of resources.

Question no  3, 7, 23 and 24.

hmm yea i forgot to ans the last question , ;D

Ans is C because u see the CPI (AVERAGE ) of the given items is like 4.64(23.2/5)
            And see the rest of the average CPI indexes added to this should be less than 2.5, (because the current is obviosly more than the overall AVERAGE CPI of 2.5%.) IF we add greater than 2.5 but less than 4.64 it would still decrease but will never reach 2.5!!. So it should be below 2.5 to achive a target of 2.5
