DIRECTIONS (Qs. 161-170) : Read the following passage andanswer the questions given below it. Certain words/phrases aregiven in bold to help you to locate them while answering some ofthe questions.
We have inherited the tradition of secrecy about the budgetfrom Britain where also the system has been strongly attacked byeminent economists and political scientists including Peter Jay.Sir Richard Clarke, who was the originating genius of nearly everyimportant development in the British budgeting techniques duringthe last two decades, has spoken out about the abuse of budgetsecrecy: “The problems of long-term tax policy should surely bedebated openly with the facts on the table. In my opinion, allgovernments should have just the same duty to publish theirexpenditure policy. Indeed, this obligation to publish taxationpolicy is really essential for the control of public expenditure inorder to get realistic taxation implications.” Realising thatdemocracy flourishes best on the principles of open government,more and more democracies are having an open public debate onbudget proposals before introducing the appropriate Bill in thelegislature. In the United States the budget is conveyed in amessage by the President to the Congress, which comes well inadvance of the date when the Bill is introduced in the Congress.In Finland the Parliament and the people are already discussing inJune the tentative budget proposals which are to be introducedin the Finnish Parliament in September. Every budget contains acartload of figures in black and white - but the dark figures representthe myriad lights and shades of India’s life, the contrasting tonesof poverty and wealth, and of bread so dear and flesh and bloodso cheap, the deep tints of adventure and enterprise and man’sageless struggle for a brighter morning. The Union budget shouldnot be an annual scourge but a part of presentation of annualaccounts of a partnership between the Government and the people.That partnership would work much better when the nonsensicalsecrecy is replaced by openness and public consultations,resulting in fair laws and the people’s acceptance of their moralduty to pay.161.

51. (b) Cost price of the house = ` C
Profit = 25% of 4CC
Capital gains tax = 50% of 4C
= ̀ 8C .
52. (c) Total amount used for purchasing = ` 160. A reductionof 20% in the price means, now a person gets 5/2 kgfor ` 32 and this is the present price of the sugar.
Present price per kg = 25
32 = ̀ 12.8
Let the original price be ̀ x. Then new price is arrivedafter reduction of 20% on it.

Total cost = 43 shirt + 21 ties = 535By hit and trial, S = 10, T = 5
Total cost = 43 × 10 + 21 × 5 = 535Hence, Ratio of shirts to ties = 10 : 5 = 2 : 1
