19. Ans: Shift from PPF1to PPF2
Explanation:
Economic growth means production of both the goods in more quantities. So, an outward shift in PPF can represent an economic growth. A movement along a PPF means increase in production of one good but decrease in the production of another good. So, a movement along the PPF can not be termed as economic growth. Therefore, a Shift from PPF1to PPF2represent economic growth.
20. Ans: a decrease in the unemployment rate
Explanation:
Because unemployment does not have any relationship with PPF.
Other are the factors required for production. So, an improvement in technology and an increase in capital stock leads to a outward shift in PPF. And the discovery of preveously unknown oil field means an increase in natural resource which can be used for production. So, it can lead to a outward shift in PPF.
So, option [D] is the correct answer
21. Ans: A radiation leak at a nuclear power plant results in the long term evacuation of a 10,000 square mile area, which significantly reduces the nation's productivity capacity.
Explanation:
A reducton in the nation's productivity capacity will lead to an inward shift in PPF. So, option [D] is the correct answer.
