Question

Match List-I with List-II \[\begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline \textbf{Types of Production Functions} & \textbf{Their Functional Forms} \\ \hline \text{(A) Translog Production Function} & \text{(I) \( q = \prod_{i=1}^{n} x_i^{a_i} \)} \\ \hline \text{(B) Generalised Leontief Production Function} & \text{(II) \( q = \sum_{i=1}^{n} a_i x_i^{\rho}, \ \rho \leq 1 \)} \\ \hline \text{(C) Cobb Douglas Production Function} & \text{(III) \( q = \sum_{i=1}^{n} a_{ij} x_i x_j \), where \( a_{ij} = a_{ji} \)} \\ \hline \text{(D) Constant Elasticity of Substitution Production Function} & \text{(IV) \( q = a_0 + \sum_{i=1}^{n} a_i \ln x_i + 0.5 \sum_{i=1}^n \ln x_i \)} \\ \hline \end{array}\] Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Answer 1

Positive Outcomes: Controlled population growth eased resource pressure. Families could invest more in education and healthcare per child.
Negative Outcomes:
Population Aging: Rapid aging created labor deficits.
Gender Ratio Skew: A preference for male offspring led to an imbalanced gender distribution.
Societal Challenges: Elevated pressure on only children contributed to psychological distress.
