Correct Answer BCDA

The correct answer is option 3) i.e. BCDA.

  • B is the first sentence because it introduces the subject 'fiscal deficit'.
  • C cites the method used to calculate the fiscal deficit, which is introduced in B. So, C would follow B.
  • D mentions two terms, i.e. fiscal deficit and fiscal debt. A mentions the word 'latter'(second), which clearly refers to fiscal debt. So, A would follow D.


Thus, the correct arrangement is : BCDA.
