Which description best fits the Indian economy in terms of its economic system as taught in the CSEET syllabus?

  1. AA purely capitalist economy with no government role
  2. BA mixed economy where public and private sectors coexistCorrect
  3. CA centrally planned economy with no private ownership
  4. DA subsistence economy with no market exchange

Explanation

India follows a mixed economic system in which both the public sector and the private sector operate. Pure capitalism would exclude government participation, and a centrally planned economy would exclude private ownership, so neither describes India. India has active markets, so it is not a subsistence economy.
