Think it through first, then pick an option.

  1. a Accounting of transactions among various banks
  2. b Formulation of the national budget
  3. c Inflation and deflation
  4. d Accounting of foreign loans
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: a Accounting of transactions among various banks

As clearing house the central bank settles the mutual dues among banks.

Why the other options are wrong

  • b Formulation of the national budget: Helping with the national budget is a separate function, not the clearing house.
  • c Inflation and deflation: Inflation and contraction relate to loan control, not the clearing house.
  • d Accounting of foreign loans: Accounting of foreign loans is part of managing government loans.
