Part - B
25. Read the source and answer the following questions.
We can understand the necessity of political parties by imagining a situation without parties. Every candidate in the elections will be independent. So no one will be able to make any promises to the people about any major policy changes. The government may be formed, but its utility will remain ever uncertain. Elected representatives will be accountable to their constituency for what they do in the locality. But no one will be responsible for how the country will be run.
We can also think about it by looking at the non party based elections to the panchayat in many states. Although, the parties do not contest formally it is generally notice that the village gets split into more than one faction, each of which puts up a panel of its candidate. Thus it exactly what the party does. That is the reason we find political parties in almost countries of the world whether these countries are big or small, old or new, developed or developing.
The rise of political parties is directly linked to the emergence of representative democracy. As we have seen, large societies need representative democracy. As society became large and complex, they also needed some agency to gather different views on various issues and to present these to the government. They needed some ways to bring various representatives together so that a responsible government could be formed. They needed a mechanism to support or restrain the government, make policies, justify or oppose them. Political Parties fulfilli means that every representative government has. We can say that parties are a necessary condition for a democracy.

26. Read the source and answer the following questions.
Have you ever wondered why transactions are made in money? The reason is simple. a person holding money can easily exchange it for any commodity or service that she or he might want. Thus everyone prefer to receive payments and money and then exchange the money for things that they want. Take the case of shoe manufacturer. He wants to sell shoes in the market and buy wheat. The show manufacturer will first exchange shoes that the has produced for money, and then exchange the money for wheat. Imagine how much more difficult it would be if the shoe manufacturer had to directly exchange shoes for wheat without the use of money.
He would have to look for a wheat growing pharma who not only wants to sell what but also wants to buy by the shoes in exchange. That is, both parties have to agree to sell and buy each other commodities. This is known as double coincidence of wants. What a person decides to sell is exactly what the other wishes to buy. In a barter system where goods are directly exchange without the use of money, double coincidence of wants is an essential feature.
In contrast, in an economy where money is in use, money by providing the crucial intermediate step eliminates the need for double coincidence of wants. it is no longer necessary for the shoe manufacturer to look for a farmer who will buy his shoes and at the same time sell him wheat. All he has to do is find a buyer for his shoes. Once he has exchanged his shoes for money, he can purchase wheat or any other community in the market. Since money act as an intermediate in the exchange process, it is called a medium of exchange.

a) Deposits with banks.
b) Money as a medium of a exchange
c) Credit system
