Correct Answer: Statement 1 is true and Statement 2 is false

 


Solution : The correct answer is (c) Statement 1 is true and Statement 2 is false.

Statement 1 is true. Devaluation refers to a deliberate reduction in the value of a domestic currency in relation to foreign currencies under a fixed exchange rate regime. This means that the domestic currency becomes cheaper in terms of foreign currencies.

Statement 2 is false. Devaluation of the domestic currency makes imports more expensive, not cheaper. When the domestic currency is devalued, it takes more units of the domestic currency to purchase the same amount of foreign currency, resulting in higher prices for imported goods.
